GE 362A1052P104 Flame Detector

In industrial settings where combustion is a core process—such as power generation, refining, or chemical processing—ensuring the presence of a stable flame is paramount for safety and efficiency. Flame failure can lead to dangerous fuel buildup and potential explosions. The GE 362A1052P104 is a high-performance flame detector designed to provide unwavering vigilance over burner flames. This robust scanner combines ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) sensing technologies to deliver highly reliable flame recognition, making it a critical component in modern Burner Management Systems (BMS) and flame safeguard systems.

Engineered for durability and precision, this detector helps protect personnel, equipment, and assets by ensuring combustion processes are continuously and accurately monitored.

1. Dual-Spectrum (UV/IR) Detection Technology

• Benefit: By sensing both ultraviolet and infrared radiation emitted by a flame, the detector achieves a high degree of accuracy. This dual-spectrum approach significantly reduces the risk of false alarms caused by hot surfaces, radiation, or other non-flame background sources, while ensuring fast and positive flame identification.

2. High Reliability in Harsh Environments

• Benefit: Built to withstand the extreme conditions found in industrial plants, including high temperatures, vibration, and potential exposure to contaminants. Its rugged design ensures consistent performance and a long service life, minimizing maintenance needs and unplanned downtime.

3. Wide Field of View

• Benefit: Features a broad viewing angle, allowing for comprehensive coverage of the combustion area. This ensures that the flame is detected even if it shifts or moves slightly within the burner, providing a reliable signal to the control system.

4. Easy Integration and Installation

• Benefit: Designed for straightforward mounting and integration into existing burner management and safety systems. Its standard output signals (typically a 4-20 mA analog signal and relay contacts) allow for seamless connection with most PLCs, DCSs, or dedicated flame safeguard controllers.

5. Enhanced Safety and Process Efficiency

• Benefit: By providing a confirmed and reliable flame signal, this detector is fundamental to safe burner startup and operation. It allows control systems to safely initiate fuel sequences and to trigger immediate fuel shutoff on flame failure, preventing hazardous conditions. This reliability directly contributes to operational efficiency and safety compliance.
