Based on combined UV + IR flame detection technology, the system accurately distinguishes real combustion flames from interference sources such as furnace wall reflections, hot refractory radiation, and background thermal noise. This significantly reduces false alarms and missed flame detection, ensuring safe ignition, stable operation, and secure shutdown interlocks for combustion equipment including boilers and gas turbines.
The solution is fully adaptable to the combustion safety logic of control systems such as GE Speedtronic Mark VIe and integrated Burner Management Systems (BMS).

Multi-Fuel and Multi-Burner Adaptability

The flame detection system is compatible with multiple fuel types, including natural gas, heavy oil, pulverized coal, and other industrial fuels. It is suitable for:

Power plant boilers

Industrial furnaces and kilns

Incinerators and thermal processing equipment

The system supports single-burner monitoring as well as multi-burner redundant configurations, meeting diverse safety requirements across different combustion system architectures.

Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance Support

Selected versions provide self-diagnostic functions, enabling real-time monitoring of:

Optical probe contamination

Cable integrity and wiring faults

Detector operational status

Status information is provided via LED indicators or communication interfaces, facilitating preventive maintenance and rapid fault localization, thereby improving system availability.

System Compatibility and Integration

The flame detector must be used in conjunction with the RS-FS-9001 flame detection controller, which supplies power and transmits signals via dedicated cables.
The controller interfaces directly with the Burner Management System (BMS). Flame sensitivity thresholds and response time parameters are configurable during system setup to match specific combustion characteristics.

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

During installation, the detector viewing angle must be adjusted to ensure full flame coverage within the detection field.

Optical lenses should be cleaned regularly to maintain detection accuracy.

Cable insulation and sealing must be inspected periodically to prevent dust, oil, or moisture ingress.

In high-temperature environments, a purge air or cooling air system should be provided to protect the detector and ensure long-term stable operation.
