Flame detection
September 1st 2005

Suitable for use in extreme environments such as those found in the oil, gas and petrochemicals industries, Draeger flame detectors ensure fast, reliable detection. They are said to provide high sensitivity, with no fail-to-danger modes and no false alarms.

Offering UV and IR, as well as combination (UVIR) detection of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon based fires, the range is easy to use and is ATEX and FM certified and SIL rated.

Designed to detect organicbased fires and vapours, the Draeger Flame 1300 is an IR flame detector. For high speed applications where UV detection is required, Flame 1700 can be used to detect organic as well as nonorganic- based fires such as hydrogen and metals. The Draeger Flame 2300 is a combined UVIR that needs both IR and UV sensors to be alarmed before the detector will output an alarm condition.

Simple to install within a stainless steel mounting bracket, the detector can be rotated to ensure optimum positioning in relation to the potential fire source.

In addition to a 4 to 20mA output and three relays, an optional Rs485 output can be multi-dropped to a central location.
