Flame Scanner

Flame Scanner Sensor

Flame Scanner  is used to detect flame inside combustion chambers, boilers, and furnaces. One of the prevalent dangers in chemical and refining industries is explosion and fire. Mixture of liquid discharges and flammable gases with oxygen in the air will burn. Delay in detecting the dying flame can lead to disastrous consequences like explosion of the chamber, bringing about high financial damages. Therefore, flame scanner performance is highly important.

Industrial Flame scanner Performance

The sensor unit can trigger an alarm at the time of fire so that related safety process to flammable materials would be increased. Some of flame sensors try to protect peoples’ safety more through turning ignition system off or activating fire fighting system. One of the detection methods of flame is using optical sensors. Optical sensors receive light and produce electrical signals. The more would be intensity of light; the bigger would become output signal range from the sensor.

Considering the aforementioned, it can be concluded that using this type of sensors helps flame detection from far distance. The biggest problem in using optical sensors to detect flame is disruptions resulted from background light as well as behavioral changes of sensor with temperature changes. To prevent such disruptions, best method of flame monitoring is measurement of instant and frequent changes of flame. All industrial flame monitoring systems are required to use this method.

Also, using self-care systems to assure correct performance of these types of systems is a must. Sepanta Electronic Tabarestan Co. is honorable as the first knowledge-based company in Iran to present flame monitoring system for industrial usage with the above mentioned characteristics.

Suitable Fuel For Flame Scanners

Whether it’s an oil burner, gas burner , or Multi-Fuel , the scanner’s working principle remains fundamentally the same: they detect the unique optical or ultraviolet (UV) or Infrared(IR) signatures emitted by a stable flame. Multi-fuel applications demand detection sensors that are capable of distinguishing between the visual and UV patterns of different fuels, ensuring reliable detection in complex combustion environments.

The Scanner Replacement Table

Flame Detection System replacement table is a guidance to choose the best SET product. If you are using different brands of flame sensors globally and are thinking about transitioning to our products, we have created a detailed replacement guide table. This guide will help you quickly find the best replacement for your current brands.

SET offers advanced flame scanning solutions designed for reliable flame detection in industrial applications. The UV flame scanner uses ultraviolet radiation sensing to detect the presence or absence of flame quickly, making it ideal for high-speed response environments. The IR flame scanner, on the other hand, operates by detecting infrared emissions from combustion, providing accurate detection even in dusty or smoky conditions. Additionally, SET offers fiber optic flame scanner technology, an advanced solution designed for applications with extreme temperatures exceeding 70°C UP TO 500°C. This innovative fiber optic design ensures safe operation in high-temperature environments where conventional scanners cannot withstand the heat, making it ideal for boilers, furnaces, and power generation systems.

These state-of-the-art scanners from SET ensure optimal performance for boilers, burners, and combustion systems in power plants and industrial facilities.
