Flame Detector

A flame detector is a specialized sensor designed to detect the presence of an open flame by analyzing the radiation emitted during combustion. It plays a crucial role in fire safety systems by providing early detection, allowing for quick response and prevention of potential hazards. These detectors operate by sensing ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) radiation from flames, with some advanced models combining both technologies for improved accuracy and reduced false alarms. Flame detectors are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, chemical plants, power generation, aviation, and manufacturing, where fire risks are high. They are designed to be highly sensitive and fast-responding, often detecting flames within milliseconds. Modern flame detectors also feature explosion-proof and weather-resistant enclosures, making them suitable for harsh and hazardous environments. By integrating with fire suppression and alarm systems, flame detectors enhance workplace safety and help prevent catastrophic damage.
