  1. Flame Detectors and Open Path Gas Detectors New models from Spectrex

  2. Presentation Outline • Sierra Monitor flame product line • Spectrex flame detectors • Flame detector selection guide • Flame detector types • Applications • Open Path Gas Detectors • Open path gas detector types

  3. Flame Detectors • Flame detectors used in same applications as combustible gas detectors • SMC flame detectors – 120o cone of vision, multiple gas types (hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon based) • 3100 – UV/IR/Visible wavelengths • 3200 – Semiconductor wet bench applications • 3300 – Indoor UV/IR flame detector

  4. Spectrex Flame Detectors • Compliment to SMC flame detectors • Lower price – 90o cone of vision • Wider range of detector types for wider range of applications • UV • UV/IR • Single IR • IR3 • Fast response • Hydrogen • CCTV-IR3

  8. Spectrex Flame Detectors • How to select a flame detector • UV • UV/IR • Single IR • IR3 • Fast Response UV/IR and IR3 • Hydrogen • CCTV-IR3

  9. Optical Flame Detection General method: • Detecting the unique optical characteristics of flames • Distinguishing between flame radiation and background radiation

  10. Selecting a Flame Detector • Defining the Application: • Fuels present • Location of potential fires • Minimum fire sizes to detect • Maximum detection distance • Speed of response needed • Sources of nuisance radiation • Environmental conditions

  11. Selecting a Flame Detector • Fuel types: • Hydrocarbon or non-organic fuel types • Liquid or gases fuel source • Potential sources of false alarms • Fire size: • Detector sensitivity and range relatedto fire size

  12. Selecting a Flame Detector • Location of Flame Detector: • Flame detectors are optical devices and needs clear view of area • 3-D cone of vision ranging from 90o to 120o • Sensitivity diminishes at edges of cone • Sensitivity and range related, further away from fire source, the detectable fire size will vary according to inverse square law. • Doubling detector distance results in only ¼ of radiant energy reaching detector

  13. Optical Flame Detectors Applications • Outdoor or indoors • Oil & Gas installations (onshore & offshore) • Power Generation / Turbines • Paint spray booth • Hazardous storage tanks / loading/ offloading areas • Aircraft Hangars • Pharmaceutical Industry • Printing Industry • Warehouses for flammable materials • Waste Disposal Facilities

  27. Innovation The CCTV Flame Detector enables the user to investigate themonitored area, identify the fire’s source and location and help select the best response, e.g. activation of fire suppression Picture of a 1ft² gasoline flame taken by the CCTV Flame Detector from a distance of 83 ft. (25 m)

  28. Accessories – Fire Simulators • Test the operation of the various SharpEye Optical Flame Detectors. • Emit radiation in a unique sequential pattern simulating a fire by the specific SharpEye Flame Detectors. • Can test under ‘real ’ fire conditions without the associated risks of an open flame. • Beam collimator extends range where detector access is difficult, thus avoiding costly access work, scaffolding, etc. With collimator Without collimator

  31. Spectrex SafEye Open Path Gas Monitoring Systems

  32. SafEye Monitoring System Consists of two modules: • Light source – A unique UV flash source that emits a wide spectral band. • Detector – The sensing and analyzing module of the system.

  33. SafEye System Description • Unique light source (Flash) • Discriminative narrow band filtered sensors • Identification and concentration determination of flammable and toxic gases in very low concentrations

  34. SafEye Features • High Sensitivity (PPM to LEL %) • Flexible detection range (0.5-140 m) • Immunity to industrial and environmental harsh conditions. • Standard interfaces (multiple standard output interfaces like 4-20mA, RS-485,etc)

  35. Gas Concentration Definition • Distance between light source and detector varies for different installations, so the gas concentration is determined as an average value over the entire optical path, either in PPM•m or LEL•m • Dividing the above value by the distance L (m) between the light source and the detector , the gas average concentration is obtained - C (PPM or LEL %).

  36. The SafEye Solution • Radiation sources – Flash • Blocking, misalignment, vibration – Unique three lenses design • Atmospheric conditions - High absorption around 3.4µ, Automatic gain control, Unique reference filter • Correct LEL measurement for relevant gases -Standard calibration to four gases – mixtures • Temperature - Internal temperature calibration
