Classification Of Flame Detectors For Burner Accessories

The flame detector is a very important burner accessory, its role is to provide real-time detection of possible flame conditions within the system, as well as to protect the system from fire and other flame safety issues. There are many types of flame detectors, and different types have different applications.

First of all, according to the different principles, the flame detector can be divided into infrared flame detector and ultraviolet flame detector. The principle of infrared flame detector is to determine whether there is a flame by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by the object, which can be used to identify very small flames; Ultraviolet flame detectors detect the ultraviolet light emitted by the object to determine whether there is a burning situation, this type of flame detector can detect a rapid flash of burning flame.

Secondly, according to the different installation methods, the flame detector can be divided into point flame detector and linear flame detector. Point type flame detectors are generally used for flame monitoring in small areas, and are suitable for fire warning and fire alarm requirements. The linear flame detector is a kind of flame monitoring equipment for large areas, generally using a cooling design, with the advantage of not easy to occur false positives.

Thirdly, according to the different use environment, the flame detector can be divided into open air flame detector and closed flame detector. Open air flame detector is suitable for outdoor, high wind and high humidity occasions, with high accuracy and detection range; Closed flame detector is suitable for closed, dry, stable occasions, generally used in ventilation systems, boiler rooms and other environments.

Finally, according to the different sensitivity, the flame detector can be divided into high sensitivity flame detector and low sensitivity flame detector. High sensitivity flame detectors are generally used to detect very small fire sources, and can detect the slightest flash; The low-sensitivity flame detector is for the fire alarm of large facilities, which can alarm in time when the fire spreads and effectively prevent the occurrence of large fire events.

In summary, the flame detector has a non-negligible role in the burner accessories, based on different characteristics and application needs, you can choose the appropriate flame detector according to the actual situation for use.
