GE flame detection sensor 114A8218P026 brand new original genuine product

Detailed introduction of GE flame detector 114A8218P026, based on its technical characteristics and industrial application scenarios:

1. Core functions

Flame monitoring: Real time detection of the flame status of combustion equipment (gas turbines, boilers, etc.) to ensure successful ignition and continuous combustion.

Safety interlock: When the flame goes out, it triggers a shutdown or alarm to prevent the accumulation of unburned fuel from causing an explosion.

Technical principle: Typically, ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) spectral analysis is used to accurately distinguish between flame and background radiation interference.

2. Key characteristics

Parameter Description

High sensitivity UV/IR dual spectrum detection technology (supported by some models), strong anti-interference ability

Output signal relay contacts (normally open/normally closed) or 4-20mA analog quantity, compatible with DCS/PLC systems

Power supply voltage 24V DC (common industry standard) or 110/220V AC

Protection level IP65/IP67 (dustproof, waterproof, high temperature resistant)

Environmental tolerance working temperature: -40 ° C to+85 ° C, resistant to vibration and corrosive environments

3. Application scenarios

Gas turbine: Monitor combustion chamber flame stability.

Industrial boilers: flame safety protection for oil/gas boilers.

Refining and power generation: flame monitoring of high-temperature equipment such as cracking furnaces and heating furnaces.

Alternative models: commonly used in conjunction with GE Mark VIe and TX control systems.

4. Key points for installation and maintenance

Installation location:

Aim your gaze directly at the core area of the flame to avoid contamination of the quartz glass with cigarette ash.

A cooling fan sleeve (for high temperature environments) is required to prevent optical components from overheating and damage.

Calibration:

The sensitivity threshold needs to be adjusted for the first installation to avoid false alarms.

Regularly clean the optical window (quartz lens), and it is recommended to wipe it with anhydrous alcohol when shutting down.

Troubleshooting:

No signal output: Check the power/wiring and test whether the analog circuit is open circuited.

False alarm: Clean the lens and confirm if the background radiation source (such as a high-temperature furnace wall) is interfering.

5. Compatibility and alternative solutions

GE family compatibility:

Can be used in conjunction with DS200 and IS10 series controllers.

Same series alternative model: 114A8218P001 (similar in function, may have different interfaces).

Cross brand substitution:

Honeywell C7027A series flame detector.

Siemens LFE100 UV flame sensor.
