rate-of-rise detector

Compare the definitions below, one in English and one in Spanish, especially the parts between asterisks, and you’ll find they’re talking about the same thing.

***Rate-of-Rise Detector. A device that responds when the temperature rises at a rate exceeding a predetermined value.*** Typical examples of rate-of-rise detectors follow Pneumatic Rate-of Rise Tubing. A line-type detector comprising small-diameter tubing, usually copper, that is installed on the ceiling or high on the walls throughout the protected area. The tubing is terminated in a detector unit containing diaphragms and associated contacts set to actuate at a predetermined pressure. The system is sealed except for calibrated vents that compensate for normal changes in temperature.

Los detectores de temperatura fija no inician la alarma hasta que la temperatura del aire cerca del techo no supera el punto de diseño. ***El detector de velocidad de aumento de temperatura (termovelocimétrico) funciona cuando la velocidad de incremento excede un valor prefijado***, alrededor de 7.8 ºC por minuto. Se diseñan para compensar los cambios normales en la temperatura ambiente que se producen en condiciones habituales.
