The IR spark detector is used for the detection of sparks and flames in closed systems

Applications
Whenever combustible material is transported either mechanically or pneumatically there is the possibility of fire or explosion.
In this case it is possible to fulfil reliable automatic and electronic installations for spark detection or monitoring systems for detection at an early stage. IR spark detector represents a good solution.
Some application examples:
Textile industry, chemical industry, furnaces, cereal mills, wood industry, coal dusts suction, plastics industry, power generation plants, food industry, waste treatment plants, tobacco industry, cellulose industry.



HOW IT WORKS
The spark enters the material conveying system via normal industrial process or by foreign objects in the system striking metal surfaces. Detectors are placed on the duct work to create a zone where no sparks can pass without detection. As the spark propagates and passes a detector, a signal is sent to the microprocessor in the Control Unit. Here the information is processed and Control Unit triggers the appropriate extinguisher, eliminating the spark and preventing a potential fire or explosion. At this point, the Control Unit can activate any user programmed instructions to open abort dampers, shutdown machinery, etc. The Control Unit executes its commands and eliminates a spark in less than 0.25 seconds.
