Chemical Plants: Detects fires in reactors and storage vessels handling flammable liquids.
Aerospace: Protects aircraft hangars and fuel storage areas from fires.
Food Processing: Ensures safe operation of ovens and fryers in commercial kitchens.
Mining: Used in underground mines to detect fires in equipment and tunnels.
FAQ
Q: How does triple IR detection improve accuracy?
A: By analyzing three distinct infrared bands, the detector can distinguish between flames and background radiation, virtually eliminating false alarms .
Q: Can the detector be used in oxygen-depleted environments?
A: Yes, it detects flames based on radiation, not oxygen levels, making it suitable for confined spaces.
Q: What is the lifespan of the sensor?
A: IR sensors typically last 5–7 years, while UV sensors last 3–5 years. Replace them as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Q: How do I install the detector?
A: Mount it at a 45° angle to the combustion chamber, ensuring a clear line of sight to the flame. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
Q: Does the detector comply with NFPA standards?
A: Yes, it meets NFPA 85 and NFPA 86 standards for combustion safety in industrial equipment.
