Time Series Data from Sensors in the Duct Above a Kitchen Cooktop During Normal Cooking and Ignition Conditions

This data set includes the time series data from 16 electrochemical, optical, temperature and humidity sensors in 60 experiments to characterize the conditions preceding cooktop ignition compared to the conditions of normal cooking. The sensors are placed in the exhaust duct above a mock-up kitchen cooktop. Experiments cover a broad range of conditions, including both unattended cooking and normal cooking scenarios, where 39 experiments led to auto-ignition. The experiments involve a variety of cooking oils and foods and were conducted using either an electric coil cooktop, gas-fueled cooktop, or electric oven.
