Peculiarities of amplitude spectra of the third order for the early detection of indoor fires

Abstract

The object of this study is the dynamics of hazardous parameters of the gas environment during the ignition of materials. The problem that was solved is the early detection of fires in the premises. The research results indicate the nonlinear nature of the dynamics of hazardous parameters of the gas environment in the absence and presence of materials ignition. It was established that the bispectrum amplitude, in contrast to the amplitude spectrum of the hazardous parameters of the gas medium, contains information on the reliable detection of fires. As such information, the value of the positive dynamic amplitude range of bispectrum is used. It was established that during the ignition of alcohol, the positive dynamics of the amplitude bispectrum of all dangerous parameters of the gas medium change. Significant changes are characteristic of smoke density (from 1 dB to 30 dB) and temperature (from 1 dB to 70 dB). The dynamic range of amplitude bispectrum for CO concentration is increased from 30 dB to 70 dB. Paper ignition was found to reduce the dynamic range of the amplitude bispectrum for smoke density from 40 dB to 20 dB. At the same time, the dynamic range of amplitude bispectrum for carbon monoxide concentration and temperature increases to 60 dB. The ignition of wood causes an increase in the dynamic range of the amplitude bispectrum relative to the concentration of carbon monoxide from 40 dB to 60 dB, and the temperature – from 30 dB to 40 dB. It was established that when textiles are ignited, the range of dynamics of the amplitude bispectrum for temperature increases from 10 dB to 60 dB. The results indicate that the dynamic characteristics of the amplitudes of the bispectrum of the gas medium can be used in practice for the early detection of fires in the premises
