abstract="Full scale fire tests have been carried out in order to study the influence of different ventilating principles on the time point of fire detection and the smoke filling of a four-bed room. Using conventional mechanical ventilating systems as &quot;smoke exhaust systems&quot; the time difference left for evacuation of the fire room can be positively influenced. With the conventional ventilating system operating there is a significant difference between time points of detection of the ionization and optical smoke detectors, for both flaming and smoldering fire. Using the &quot;low momentum displacement ventilation&quot; this difference is reduced, resulting in possibilities for the ionization smoke detector to be optimized for both flaming and smoldering fires.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
