The VSF303H Multi-Spectrum IR H2 Flame Detector is a specialized flame detection system designed for hazardous industries where fast hydrogen (H2) flame detection is critical and nuisance alarms are not an option. It utilizes the latest IR flame detection algorithms to ensure maximum false alarm immunity, making it highly reliable in environments where safety is paramount. This detector is suitable for a wide range of applications, including petroleum-refining, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, fertilizer production, pharmaceuticals, hydrogen compressors, fueling stations, and more. It offers long detection distances, enhanced false alarm immunity, continuous optical testing without the need for a reflector, and international hazardous area approvals such as FM, ATEX, and IEC Ex. The device is also SIL 2 certified, ensuring it meets stringent safety standards. Its features include adjustable sensitivity levels, easy integration with industry-standard outputs like alarm and fault relays, 0-20mA, and HART 7, and a design that maintains operation in harsh weather conditions.

Use Cases

  • Hydrogen compressors
  • Hydrogen fueling stations
  • Hydrogen trains/buses
  • Hydrogen ferries
  • Hydrogen to methane production
  • Hydrogen generators

Capabilities

  • Multi-Spectrum IR design that delivers long detection distances and enhanced false alarm immunity
  • Continuous optical test without a reflector, which verifies operation and improves the device’s up-time
  • Microprocessor-controlled heat optics, which maintains operation in harsh weather conditions (i.e., snow, ice, condensation)
  • Adjustable sensitivity levels that allow for application flexibility and that ensure VSF303H detectors do not cross-vote
  • Design that meets SIL 2 capable
  • Design that meets performance testing standards (through FM 2809 and EN 54-10) for multiple fuels
Viking Group Inc. Viking Group Inc. is an industrial technology supplier whose business includes fire-protection systems and components for facilities that can include hydrogen production and storage areas. Its broader business is centered on protective equipment and engineered safety systems for industrial facilities, where equipment is selected according to the hazards, operating environment, applicable codes, and interfaces with the plant’s detection, shutdown, fire-protection, or electrical systems. The company’s hydrogen role is consequently focused on risk mitigation and facility protection rather than on producing or converting hydrogen itself. For hydrogen, the company supplies the specific fire-protection, hazardous-area, or other safety equipment described in its portfolio, supporting facilities where hydrogen production, storage, transfer, or use creates additional safety requirements. Its sprinklers, deluge equipment, valves, and fire-suppression engineering are used to protect high-hazard industrial installations. For hydrogen sites, the company contributes facility-level fire protection as part of the broader safety design. Within the hydrogen value chain, Viking Group Inc. therefore acts as a safety-equipment supplier to plant developers, EPC companies, infrastructure operators, industrial sites, and equipment integrators.
