Description Protectowire Linear Heat Detectors are a proven, practical method of detecting overheat and fire in cooling towers. Fire is usually caused by overheating of a fan motor. Wooden tower framework and plastic impregnated fiberglass supports and dividers (fill) are an ever-present combustible hazard. The Linear Heat Detector, when used with a Protectowire system control, provides continuous early warning detection for activating deluge sprinkler system. The Detector is installed around the fan motor on the fan deck and circles the inside perimeter of the fan cylinder base, just beneath the deck (see illustration reverse side). Sprinklers are positioned with heads pointing in from the tower wall and upward toward the decking.
