source. In this case no reference system would be required to compensate for it.
The main factor in the determination of time in alarm or time in low sensitivity is the time
constant “T”. This, as given above, is the volume of the room divided by the rate at
which outside air is added. That is the time it would take a room to be filled with external
polluted air if none of the pollution was allowed to escape. For this reason it is called
the filling time constant. If the example worked through above, was concerned with
a room of 500 cu.m. but all other data remained the same, then the filling time constant
(T) would be 12 minutes instead of 120 minutes. The alarm level would be exceeded
for 42.7 minutes instead of 427 minutes. The same would be true if the rate of fresh
air make up was 100% instead of 10% and the volume of the room stayed at 5,000
cu.m. However, shortening the period in unwanted alarms by this amount is not a real
solution because 1 second in alarm constitutes as much of a problem as 42.7 minutes.
It has been shown that in a simple case the performance of a reference system can be
analysed by “rounding off a few corners”. The main problem has been identified as the
filling time constant.
When considering a more complex system as in Fig. 5 the number of unknown variables
become so many and so large that the system is no longer amenable to analysis.
