El término aparece en una memoria de calidades, en el apartado dedicado a detección de incendios. Parece ser que hay varios tipos de detectores: ópticos, iónicos, termovelocimétricos... y no encuentro el equivalente en inglés.
Muchas gracias a tod@s. :)

Hello Cindy Chadd, your Google search is somewhat biased. The term thermovelocimetric IS the right term. There is insufficient space here to reproduce the link text in total, but suffice it to say that the text discusses the "velocimetric" device used in smoke detection, presumably referring to measurement of the speed of fire propagation. Whether or not it includes a thermal device or resistor is irrelevant because good lexicology would show "thermovelocimetric" as a two word composition just like "thermoelectric", "thermodynamic" etc etc. Also the Castilla Dictionary as long ago as 1965 has only one entry for "velocimeter = velocïmetro" which confirms the novel nature of a "thermovelocimetric" device as technology evolves (the absence of hits). With all due respect, I think you need to eat some humble pie here. If I can, for the avoidance of doubt, in another note I will reproduce the whole text exclusively for you and some notes on lexicology and language development. Howzat ? Any other comments from anyone for the benefit of Prats question welcomed.

The state of the art technology used in these fire control panels provides a high degree of mechanical and electrical reliability (IP54 protection), and satisfies the most diverse requirements. The AEF3, AEF5, AEF8 and AEF16 are designed to run fire detectors without relays, alarm transmission being by impedance variation. However, fire detectors with relay outputs can be connected to the control panels. Possible to connect several types of detectors: temperature detectors, thermovelocimetric detectors, smoke detectors, temperature + smoke detectors, gas leak detectors, carbon monoxide detectors. It is also possible to connect break glass units, sirens, a telephone transmitter and a rotating flasher. These control panels allow you to connect more than 100 detectors per zone and are designed to control an automatic extinction system .....

Reacts to a sudden rise in temperature and is designed to ignore slow variations. This thermovelocimetric detector has no alarm relay output because it is by impedance variation and so it can only be connected to fire control panels (ref. AEF1, AEF3, AEF5 or AEF8). Alarm indicator LED. This detector is designed for ceiling mounting and is supplied with a fixing base.

Cindy, this is not the right venue for tantrums ... you will now see that those who laugh last, laugh longer and louder. You would do well to remember that "A word can make or break a woman's fortunes" and you have already said your word. You need to keep your passion and your tantrums for another venue.
Who else are you going to pick on next ?

: sorry, this is not right. Nearly every one of the 23 Google hits for "thermovelocimetric" is a translation.//Save the double talk. There is not ONE valid ref. for "thermovelocimetric detector"--because that's not what it's called.

Cindy, if you answer a question you should not vote negatively against an answering peer, I am sure it's to do with ethics, I did not rush to do the same to you though I had the opportunity. with these attitudes the forum becomes a dog's dinner.

Please have a look at my answer to this old question:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/800102
I posted it after the question was closed (only one hour after it was asked), so this isn't in the glossary. The references I gave include a definition in English and another in Spanish, which clearly show it's the same instrument.

: I agree with your suggestion as one of several possibles including mine, but everyone will now disagree with your assumption that yours is the only one and mine does not exist. I rest my case.
