The UV-IR Flame Detector is a high-performance device designed for ultra-fast response and reliable detection of a wide range of fires, including hydrocarbon fires (both visible and non-visible) and hydrogen fires. It is capable of detecting both slow-growing fires and fast eruptions of fire using advanced UV-IR technology. The detector operates effectively in all weather and light conditions. Key features include high immunity to false alarms, detection of hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames, ultra-fast detection within 5 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions, high sensitivity up to 100 feet (30 meters) for a 1 square foot (0.1 square meter) n-heptane pan fire, a data/event logger for recording alarms, faults, and other relevant events, a built-in-test (BIT) for automatic and manual self-testing of window cleanliness and overall operation, a window heater to prevent condensation and icing, a tilt mounting bracket that can be connected above or below the detector, and UV and IR warning levels with a current output of 0-20mA when elevated UV or IR radiation is detected.

Use Cases

  • Detection of slow growing fires
  • Detection of fast eruptions of fire
  • Fire detection in all weather and light conditions
  • Hydrogen fire detection

Capabilities

  • Data/event logging to non-volatile memory
  • Built-in-test for window cleanliness and operation
  • Window heater to avoid condensation and icing
  • Tilt mounting bracket for overhead or below installation
  • UV and IR warning levels with current output
Fike Corporation Fike Corporation, a global manufacturer with over 60 years of experience in explosion protection, fire suppression, and pressure relief products founded in 1945, provides rupture discs, pressure relief valves, and explosion protection solutions relevant to hydrogen process safety applications. Fike's proprietary G2 manufacturing technology produces reverse-acting rupture discs using laser ablation rather than scoring/coining, resulting in more predictable and reliable performance for hydrogen processes that often use pressure relief valves (PRVs) susceptible to leaking valuable and flammable hydrogen emissions—Fike's rupture discs can be used in tandem with PRVs to minimize leaking and improve total cost of ownership. The company addresses hydrogen embrittlement (loss of metal ductility from hydrogen exposure that can cause severe damage to critical process components) by engineering rupture discs as safeguarded critical process components resistant to this degradation mechanism. Fike's comprehensive explosion protection portfolio—including explosion venting, isolation, and suppression systems that detect and suppress explosions in their earliest stages using pressurized chemicals within milliseconds—along with its EXP Explosion Protection System featuring patented container and nozzle designs, positions the company to protect hydrogen production, storage, and processing facilities from overpressure and explosion hazards inherent to hydrogen's wide flammability range.
