Flame detectors are used to detect open flames indoor and outdoor. They respond to the light emitted from flames during combustion.
Flame detectors are especially suitable for smokeless liquid and gas fires not visible for the naked eye as well as for fires of materials that contain carbon with strong smoke emission.
Typical areas of application are large industrial warehouses, airplane hangars, chemical facilities, oil refineries, machine rooms, ferries and freight ships, power plants, printing plants, wood warehouses, subway tunnels.
Flameproof equipment is contained in an enclosure so strong that an internal explosion will neither damage the enclosure nor be transmitted outside of it. The surface remains cool enough not to ignite the explosive mixture.
