rate-of-temperature indicator

rate-of-temperature indicator
A type of fire-warning system that uses a series of thermocouples to sense the rate of change of temperature rise. Any increase in temperature whose rate of change is higher than specified makes current flow into the system, which appears as a fire-warning light. A high temperature by itself does not make the warning light glow.
