Why Companies Install Flame Detectors And Open Path Gas Detectors?
Industries
involved in manufacturing, processing, storing or transportation of flammable
materials need a flame monitoring system. A flame
detector is an optical sensor that detects the
heat and communicates it to a control unit.
Why Flame Detectors?
The optical
sensor of a flame detector is
sensitive to radiation emitted at different wavelengths in various spectral
bands. It can detect it remotely, even a small size fire from a long distance.
The design
of a flame detector enables them to differentiate an actual flame from other
radiations. These radiations can come from sunlight, other hot objects, and
lighting, welding, and similar non-flame origins. Thus, it mitigates the
chances of false alarms that can cause productivity loss.
Flame Detector finds
its application in coal handling, industrial heating and drying systems, oil
refineries, metal fabrication, agriculture, power plants, printing, spray
booths, waste handling, nuclear industry, pharmaceuticals, aircraft hangars,
high voltage equipment, gas-fuelled cookers, tunnels, engine test facilities,
storage tanks, etc.
Why Open Path Gas Detectors?
Open path gas is a
line-of-sight gas monitoring arrangement viable for long-distance detections.
They offer safeguard from toxic and hazardous gas leaks. This detection
technique can find uses in hydrocarbon storage tanks, offshore drilling,
fence-lines, docks loading and unloading sites, etc.
Unlike
simple IR detectors, an open path detector can
detect gas molecules in a wide-open range of up to 200 metres.
Unlike a
fixed point detector, when it comes to installation options, an open path gas detector gives companies even more
flexibility. By focusing a beam of light, the detector can very precisely
locate the site of a gas leak and very easily alert workers to the
situation.
