Fiber Optic Flame Scanners: Advanced Solution for High-Temperature Environments

In industries where extreme heat and reliability are critical, high temperature flame scanners  play a vital role in safety and operational efficiency. SET’s fiber optic flame scanner solutions are engineered to deliver superior performance in high-temperature applications, ensuring accurate monitoring and protection of combustion systems.

What is a Fiber Optic Flame Scanner?

A fiber optic flame scanner is a specialized device designed to detect flame presence using fiber optic technology. Unlike conventional sensors, the scanner uses an optical fiber cable to transmit the flame’s UV or IR radiation signals from the hot zone to the detection electronics located in a cooler, safer environment. This design allows the flame scanner to operate in conditions where temperatures exceed 70°C, making it an ideal solution for industrial furnaces, gas turbines, and petrochemical plants.

Why Choose Fiber Optic Technology for Flame Detection?

Fiber optic technology provides a robust solution for flame monitoring in harsh conditions. Its key benefits include:

• High Heat Resistance: Only the fiber optic probe is exposed to high temperatures, while sensitive components remain protected.

• Remote Installation: Thanks to the optical fiber cable, electronics can be mounted far from the combustion chamber, reducing risks.

• Reliability and Safety: Continuous, accurate flame detection ensures stable combustion and prevents shutdowns or accidents.

• Flexibility: Perfect for locations with limited accessibility or intense heat where conventional detectors cannot survive.
