Overview:
The Honeywell LG/EG flame monitoring system is designed to detect UV radiation emitted by hydrocarbon flames, providing reliable flame detection and indicating flame or no-flame conditions. This sensor has demonstrated proven performance on General Electric (GE) and GE licensee gas turbines for over 35 years.
Features:
-
Sensor Technology: Utilizes a Geiger-Mueller type sensor phototube that detects UV radiation in the 180-260 nm spectrum. It is solar blind and tolerant to black body radiation.
-
Response Times:
- Flame Present Response Time: 0.1 seconds (typical)
- Flame Loss Response Time: 0.2 seconds (maximum)
-
Temperature Range: Operates effectively in temperatures from -40°C to 176°C.
-
Operating Distance: Effective up to 330 meters (1000 feet) from sensor to amplifier.
