Subject:      engine compartment temp?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Hello Volks,
I'm working on a fire alarm for my engine compartment.
I figure that I will install a heat sensor/switch in the engine compartment
and wire it to a buzzer or siren.
In order to avoid false alarms, I need to know the MAXIMUM temperature that
will occur in the engine compartment under normal operating conditions (no
fire) in, let's say, the Arizona desert in July. I would then use a heat
sensor/switch rated just above that maximum engine compartment temperature.
Ideally I would like an actual measured maximum temperature, but estimates
are welcome too. Please specify weather your response if measured or
estimated.
Thanks
Bill
