What is spark detection?
The principle of spark detection A spark detection system consists of a detector that identifies dangerous particles (ignition sources) in process flows. Once a particle is detected, it is within milliseconds automatically extinguished before it can create a fire or a dust explosion.
Which sensor is used to detect fire?
Infrared thermal cameras MWIR infrared (IR) cameras can be used to detect heat and with particular algorithms can detect hot-spots within a scene as well as flames for both detection and prevention of fire and risks of fire.
How do you detect fire sensors?
Optical smoke detectors are light sensors. When used as a smoke detector it includes a light source (infra-red LED), a lens to collimate the light into a beam like a laser, and a photodiode or other photoelectric sensor at right angles to the beam as a light detector.
Can Spark be extinguished?
By extracting heat, the spark or ember is cooled down. An optimal extinguishing effect is achieved by the specific surface of the water being kept as large as possible which is reached by a very fine nebulization of the water. A special nozzle and sufficient process water pressure provide for the nebulization degree.
What does a flame scanner verify?
Visible light flame detector senses the visible light emitted by fuel oil combustion flames. It is used with flame safeguard controls to provide fuel oil flame supervision in commercial and industrial burners. Under optimum conditions, the flame detector can detect most oil combustion flames at a distance of 6 ft.
Are Firefly detectors sensitive to daylight?
All Firefly detectors are insensitive to daylight. Besides detecting down to the relevant temperature and energy levels, avoiding false alarms is a crucial aspect in the detection functionality of a spark detection system.
How does a firefly Spark detection system work?
The installation of a Firefly spark detection system is another. A spark detection system consists of a detector that identifies dangerous particles (ignition sources) in process flows. Once a particle is detected, it is within milliseconds automatically extinguished before it can create a fire or a dust explosion.

What is Firefly truedetect™?
Firefly’s TrueDetect technology™ enables detection down to the right ignition temperatures and energy levels for different materials without being sensitive to daylight. A Firefly True IR detector is based on led sulphide cells (PbS) and is therefore insensitive to daylight.
