From the list below, which sensor detects smoke the fastest?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) or HSSD (High Sensitivity Smoke Detection) systems are the fastest smoke sensors among the options listed. These systems use a network of pipes to draw air samples from the protected area and analyze them using a laser-based detection chamber. VESDA/HSSD systems can detect smoke at very low concentrations, typically in the range of 0.005 to 20 percent obscuration per meter. This means they can provide early warning of a fire before it becomes visible or spreads. VESDA/HSSD systems are ideal for data centers and other critical facilities that require high levels of fire protection and minimal downtime.

I read that ionization detectors are more sensitive to fast-flaming fires, which is why I believe it's the fastest.

I've heard that sprinkler bulbs are the quickest to detect smoke, especially in high heat situations.
