Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
What are these sub-micron particles?
•
•
•
•
•
These are sub micron carbon particles
They are 0.0025mirco-meters in size
They exist in normal air all the time
We breath them in continuously
In normal conditions only combustion
generates the massive quantities that
the the ‘Cloud Chamber’ can interpret
as a fire condition

Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
Sub-micron particle detection?
0.0025 micron particles ?
• In an air space 1 cm3 there are
approximately 15,000 - 0.0025 submicron particles in normal conditions
i.e. (no overheat condition or fire)
• In the same size air space (1 cm3 ) when
there is an overheat or fire condition
approximately 10,000,000,000
0.0025 sub-micron particles are produced
The ‘Cloud Chamber’ detects this increase in particle generation
The problem is that these particles are
INVISIBLE

Sub-micron particle detection?
Invisible 0.0025 micron
particles ?
Cloud Chamber
From
invisible
particles that
cannot be
measured
Airflow containing ALL particles
passes through the ‘Cloud Chamber’
‘Cloud Chamber’ process condenses
water droplets on to all particles
The enlarged particles form a cloud and the
‘Cloud Chamber’ measures the resultant cloud density
To BIGGER
visible
particles that
can be
measured
Understanding ‘Cloud Chamber’ detectors
Why are Cloud Chambers immune to false alarms
from dust ?
0.0025 sub micron
combustion particles
2 - 10 micron
dust/smoke particles
Cloud Chamber
Introduce dust into the cloud chamber
Condensate water droplets onto the sample
Dust particles cannot provide enough cloud density
to cause an alarm from the cloud chamber
