Abstract
Introduction: The article is devoted to the issue of designing fire alarm techniques with the use of a system approach. The analysis of the results of the previous research in this area is presented. The purposes of fire detection are formulated on the basis of the provisions of the existing legal and normative base on fire safety. The mathematical models describing the conditions for achieving these objectives are submitted. The model of hydrocarbon liquids combustion under conditions of the presence of air flows and the pollution of the atmosphere with dusts and air dredges is examined from the position of justification of spatial parameters of fire detectors placement (thermal detectors, thermal detectors of differential action, flame detectors). The examples of calculations according to the developed models are considered.
