Designed to sense flame in extreme high pressure and hot environments
The Fireye VFS-2000 Turbine Sensor is designed to sense flame in extreme high pressure and hot environments such as those found on turbine generators in power generation facilities. Similar challenging environments can be found near steam boilers, waste incinerators, down-fired reformer furnaces, ground flares, rotary kiln systems, ovens and dryers in power generation facilities, oil refineries, petrochemical, ammonia plants, paper and pulp industries.
The VFS-2000 Turbine Flame Sensor responds to Ultraviolet optical energy from the flame (200-400 nanometers) and has a loop powered 4-20mA output representing flame brightness from a very low level. It is not sensitive to visible and IR emissions from hot walls. The Fireye design basis is a total separation of the optical sensing device from the turbine without the need for expensive water or pressurized air cooling systems.
