  1. Flame Sensors www.Talentum.co.uk

  2. Introduction • Low Power 24Vdc Operation, 4-20mA or Relay Interface • Detects Open Flames & Glowing Embers • Sensitive to Flickering IR or UV/IR Emitted by Flames

  3. Why use a Flame Sensor If detection is required to be: Heat & smoke detection are the most economical method • Unaffected by convection currents, draughts or wind • IR sensors are tolerant of fumes, vapour, steam, dust and mist • Detection at over 25m away • Fast reaction

  4. Aircraft hangars Automotive industry – spray booths, – parts manufacture Coal handling plant Pharmaceuticals - fume cupboards Paper manufacture Power plants Textiles - dust collection - fillings Waste handling Woodworking Applications

  5. Ambient temperatures above 55°C Where the detector may view - Applications to Avoid • Flickering or moving hot objects (>200 °C) • Sunlight falling directly onto IR optics • Flood or spot lights directly on optics • Large amounts of flickering reflections • Exposure to severe weather • Close proximity to RF sources

  6. Theory of Operation • Detector Optics Detector Optics Signal Processing Input/Output Interface A B

  7. Optical Spectra

  8. Other Types 4.3µm Detector Optics Talentum IR Detectors B A B A 4.3 Excluding Atmospheric Absorption

  9. Types of Sensors Available Typical Sensor Cost Detection Methods Talentum Flame Sensors Highest Triple IR £1,000 UV/IR Dual IR (IR²) Immunity to False Sources 4.3 µm Single IR £100 UV Low UV Visible Near IR Mid IR 0.4µm 0.75µm 3.0µm Optical Spectrum

  19. Output Interface Option Typical Response on seeing Flame

  20. Output Interface Option Typical Response after last Flame is seen.

  21. Output Interface Option Typical Response to a Burst of Flame

  22. Output Interface Option Typical Response on seeing Flame - Break supply to reset

  23. Sensor Performance • Class 1 performance as defined in EN54:Part 10 Flame detectors – point detectors • Yellow flickering flame of approximately 0.1m² or • clear flame of 0.25m² at • 25m

  24. Sensor Performance • 0.1m² flicking yellow flame at 25m • 0.4m² flicking yellow flame at 40m 0.1m² 0.4m²

  25. Selection of Fires Tested Solids Liquids Gases • Aviation Fuels • Ethanol • Methylated Spirits • n-Heptane • Paraffin • Petrol • Butane • Fluorine • Hydrogen • Natural Gas • Off Gas • Propane • Coal • Cotton • Grain & Feeds • Paper • Refuse • Wood • Or just Dust from the above

  26. DIL Switch SENSITIVITY 0 Low Class 3 1 High Class 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Sensitivity Setting • Class 1 is the normal setting (High) • Class 3 reduced sensitivity (Low) DIL Switch (Front cover removed)
