Product Advantages

Enhanced safety: SIL 2 compliance and Class I Div 2/ATEX Zone 2 certifications for hazardous locations.

Cost-effective installation: No cooling system required reduces infrastructure and operational costs.

High reliability: Argon-filled sealed housing prevents moisture and contamination, extending service life.

Minimal false alarms: Advanced UV filtering distinguishes flame radiation from background light sources.

Easy integration: 4–20 mA output compatible with GE Mark VIe, DCS, and third-party control systems.

Low maintenance: Fanless, solid-state design with no moving parts reduces downtime.

Main Functions

Flame presence/absence detection: Real-time monitoring of burner flame status in combustion systems.

Safety interlock triggering: Sends shutdown signals to control systems upon flame failure to prevent fuel leaks and explosions.

Analog signal output: Provides 4–20 mA proportional flame intensity data for process monitoring.

Environmental resistance: Operates reliably in high-temperature, dusty, and corrosive industrial environments.

System diagnostics: Detects sensor faults, wiring issues, or signal anomalies for maintenance alerts.

Application Cases

Power Generation: Gas turbine and boiler flame monitoring in combined-cycle power plants, integrated with GE Mark VIe control systems.

Oil & Gas: Refinery process heaters, offshore platform burners, and pipeline compressor station combustion safety.

Chemical & Petrochemical: Furnace and reactor flame detection in chemical processing plants, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Industrial Heating: Steel mill furnaces, cement kilns, and thermal processing lines requiring high-temperature flame monitoring.

Waste-to-Energy: Incinerator flame detection for municipal solid waste and biomass combustion systems.

Key Features

Dry, cooling-free design: Eliminates need for air or water cooling, reducing installation complexity and maintenance.

High-sensitivity UV detection: Silicon carbide (SiC) photodiode detects 190–290 nm UV radiation, immune to visible light interference.

Fast response: Flame recognition ≤3 seconds; flame-out alarm delay ≤5 seconds, meeting NFPA 86 standards.

Rugged construction: IP66 protection, stainless steel housing, and sapphire window for harsh industrial conditions.

Wide temperature tolerance: Operates reliably at hot-end temperatures up to 325°C.

Integrated diagnostics: Self-monitoring functions for fault detection and predictive maintenance
