IMPLEMENTATION OF A MACHINE LEARNING BASED SURROGATE MODEL FOR INDOOR AIR FLOW AND TEMPERATURE PREDICTION
A surrogate model for predicting computational fluid dynamics simulations uses a computational fluids dynamics (CFD) simulator and a feedforward neural network. CFD simulator receives first input parameters of ambient conditions and operating conditions for an indoor space and generates heat maps and airflow maps of the indoor space.

TEMPORALLY DISTRIBUTED TRANSMISSION OF INCIDENT DATA RECORDS, LOGGED BY A FIRE ALARM AND INCLUDING MEASUREMENT VALUES RELATING TO SIGNIFICANT FIRE CHARACTERISTIC VARIABLES, TO A CENTRAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The invention relates to a method for the logging of measurement values (MOP, MT, MCO), in particular raw measurement values, relating to significant fire characteristic variables (OPT, TEMP, CO) detected by a fire alarm (2), wherein, if a current measurement value exceeds a threshold value (OG, TG, COG) as a fire incident indicator, the measurement values are temporarily stored as a log in a data store (DS) of the fire alarm, wherein, after the log has been made, an incident data record (REC) is formed from same, together with header data (HEADER), wherein an incident data record is transmitted in the background from the fire alarm to a central fire alarm system in a temporally distributed manner and over multiple data transmission blocks (DAT) released by the central fire alarm system (1). Preferably, an average data transmission rate (DRZ) between the fire alarm and the central fire alarm system is lower than an average memory data rate (DRM) for the storing of an incident data record in the fire alarm. The invention also relates to a fire alarm, a central fire alarm system and a fire alarm system.

The fire detector comprises a control unit (MC) that is connected to the thermistors in order to capture temperature measurement signals (S1-S4). The control unit is characterized in that it is configured to output a warning message (WM) concerning the absence of moving ambient air around the at least one thermistor if the signal bandwidth of signal fluctuations of at least one of the captured temperature measurement signals, preferably all of the temperature measurement signals, falls below a value of 30 mK, in particular 20 mK, preferably 15 mK, for a minimum time (MZ). Causes for the absence of thermal fluctuations may be soiling in the region of the inlet openings or the fact that the inlet openings are covered by a protective cover or by an adhesive tape.
A method is specified for automatic testing of a fire alarm system. The method is carried out by a device in the fire alarm system functioning as a panel. In this method, during a recording mode, fire detectors are triggered in turn and the reactions resulting from the triggering (recording mode reactions) of the panel are stored. During a test mode executed later in time, for example as a result of a firmware update of the panel, reactions resulting during the test mode (test mode reactions) are compared with the reactions stored during the recording mode. With discrepancies or an insufficient match an error message is generated.

Increasing the suction power in an aspirating smoke detector (ASD) to shorten the transport time from a detected minimum signal level value without the output of an interruption signal
The present disclosure relates to aspirating smoke detectors (ASD). In an ASD, ambient air is aspirated and is fed to a fire detector unit for determining a signal level. For normal operation, the suction power is set to a nominal airflow value and this is increased from a minimum signal level value in order to shorten the transport time of aspirated smoke through the suction pipe to the fire detector unit. In some embodiments, an interruption signal provided for normal operation is output if the airflow exceeds an upper limit value for a minimum period. Independently thereof, the suction power is increased from the minimum signal level value only to the extent that the airflow does not exceed the upper limit value. Or, regardless thereof, the suction power is increased only for a timespan smaller than the minimum period in which the airflow exceeds the upper limit value.
