Abstract
A hazardous condition detector is provided. The hazardous condition detector comprises a body, a hazardous condition sensor, and at least one corona discharge apparatus. The body defines a passage therethrough. The passage extends between an inlet and an outlet. The hazardous condition sensor is positioned within the passage. The at least one corona discharge apparatus is positioned within the passage to draw a fluid into the passage through the inlet and to expel the fluid through the outlet.
Claims20
A hazardous condition detector, comprising:
- a body defining a passage therethrough and extending between an inlet and an outlet;
- a hazardous condition sensor positioned within the passage;
- and
- at least one corona discharge apparatus positioned within the passage to draw a fluid into the passage through the inlet and to expel the fluid through the outlet.
A hazardous condition detector, comprising:
- a passage extending between an inlet and an outlet
- a hazardous condition sensor disposed within the passage;
- an emitter array positioned in the passage;
- and
- a collector array positioned in the passage in a spaced relation to the emitter array, the emitter array and the collector array cooperatively producing an electric wind in the passage when energized such that air is drawn from an environment into the passage through the inlet, moved past the sensor, and expelled through the outlet into the environment.
A method of detecting a hazardous condition in an structure, comprising the steps of:
- producing an electric wind in a passage of a hazardous condition detector thereby drawing the fluid from an environment into the passage, circulating the fluid past a hazardous condition sensor, and expelling the fluid into the environment such that the fluid is monitored for the hazardous condition.
