Reliable Heat Detectors for Fire Protection in Underground Car Parks


Heat Detector Installation in Underground Car Park

Fire safety in underground car parks presents unique challenges, making heat detectors an essential component of any advanced protection system. Unlike conventional systems such as sprinklers, heat detection technology offers early warning capabilities that help minimize damage and prevent potential loss of life. In areas where visibility is limited and maintenance is difficult, using a high-performance linear heat detector system ensures prompt fire detection without compromising on durability. Kun'An's state-of-the-art solutions are specifically designed for these demanding environments, delivering reliability and precision in temperature monitoring.

Fire Risks and Causes in Underground Parking Structures

Overheated Vehicle Engine as Fire Risk in Parking Garage

Although fires in underground car parks are uncommon, their impact can be severe due to high thermal loads and enclosed spaces. The following are frequent causes of fire incidents: 

• Intentional ignition (arson) 

• Electrical faults in parked vehicles 

• Overheated engines or mechanical parts 

• Fuel leakage or accidental spills 

• Careless disposal of smoking materials 

These risk factors highlight the importance of early fire detection using intelligent thermal sensing systems.

 

Challenges of Fire Detection in Underground Environments

Heat Detector Installation in Underground Car Park

Detecting and responding to fires in underground car parks is complicated by several environmental factors: 

• Constant exposure to exhaust fumes, especially from diesel engines 

• Elevated temperatures and fluctuating humidity levels 

• Restricted access for regular maintenance and inspection 

Conventional point-type temperature detectors often require frequent maintenance, which increases operational costs. A smarter approach is to implement linear heat detection systems that are virtually maintenance-free and resistant to harsh conditions.
