3.2.7 Kitchens
Large cooking vessels, frying pans and deep fryers (which are commonly found in university refectories
or canteens) present a very serious fire hazard. This is mainly due to the strong possibility of fire breaking out
due to overheating and to the local high fire load. Multi-sensor fire detectors with a smoke/heat combination and
sophisticated signal processing are recommended for monitoring these areas. Avoiding unwanted alarms due to
the inevitable presence of deceptive phenomena, such as fumes or steam, requires in-depth knowledge and
experience in positioning the detectors in such applications.
