METHOD OF DETECTING LOCAL COMBUSTION SOURCES Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC G08B17/10 G01S17/88 

FIELD: fire-fighting equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to fire safety and can be used for remote detection of fire at early stages of smoky and smokeless combustion of combustible materials. Method of detecting local combustion sources involves probing the atmosphere with a turbulent lidar by sector or circular azimuthal scanning at a small angle of inclination of the path. Profile of echo signals of the main receiving channel is recorded, which contains an echo signal from molecules and aerosol particles and an additive, which occurs due to atmospheric turbulence, and an echo signal of the additional receiving channel, containing an echo signal from molecules and aerosol particles. From the obtained echoes, the turbulent addition profile of the main receiving channel echo, the profile of the turbulence effect factor on the average power of the scattered light at the receiver and the profile of the structural characteristic of the refraction index of air are determined, on the basis of which the presence of a combustion source at the corresponding distance and in the corresponding azimuthal direction is determined.

EFFECT: rapid remote detection and location of the source of smoky and smokeless combustion.
