Flame detection and early warning systems are two of the most important and critical aspects or components relating to reliable and well developed fire prevention and protection systems. There are many different types of global industries that rely heavily on advanced and state of the art early warning and flame detection systems from oil companies, off shore oil drilling platforms, gas and oil pipelines, nuclear facilities, aircraft hangars, and enclosed turbines and so on.
There are a number of different types and grades of flame detection units that have been designed and developed to meet the needs of all levels of industry. From basic technology units that perform all functions required but at a basic cost level to high tech, state of the art units that are critical in meeting extremely exacting needs of industries that run very high fire risk on stored or manufacturing stages in production. Such industries would be completely ruined due to fire breakout and so invest heavily in the best technology available to avoid fire and reduce overall fire risk.
Types Of Flame Detection Units
There are a great number of different flame detection units that are available, all are able to both detect the presence of a flame and indeed even the absence of a flame, depending on the end users needs and type of industry.
Among some of the most reliable, accurate and cost effective flame detection units are small multispectrum infrared flame detection units. These are very small units, not much bigger than standard security CCTV cameras and are able to detect flame as well as keep false alarms to the absolute minimum in order to maximize security as well as ensure constant and consistent client productivity.
Among the features of multispectrum flame detectors is the ability to detect hydrogen based flames as well as other non carbon based flames, this helps to increase overall efficiency as well keep false alarms and detection failures to a minimum. Many of these multispectrum detection units also operate on one hundred percent on and off axis basis to ensure maximum coverage of a given area or space. This translates into maximum efficiency at the lowest cost as clients need only install one or two multispectrum flame detectors to ensure the maximum coverage.
