Industrial Application Scenarios
Deploy this flame scanner in power generation facilities where coal, gas, or oil-fired boilers demand continuous flame monitoring to prevent furnace explosions. The dual-spectrum design excels in environments with high background radiation, steam interference, or refractory glow that would trigger false alarms in single-sensor systems.
Petrochemical refineries utilize the SF810INT for process heater safety, where hydrocarbon flames require reliable detection despite varying fuel compositions. The line-of-sight optics penetrate flame flicker and turbulence to maintain stable signals during load changes or fuel switching operations.
Cement kilns, waste incinerators, and metallurgical furnaces benefit from the scanner's ability to discriminate between actual combustion and hot refractory surfaces, reducing nuisance trips while maintaining safety integrity level (SIL) compliance.
System Integration Solutions
Interface directly with ABB's Safeguard burner management systems or third-party flame safeguard controls via industry-standard 4-20mA signaling. The scanner's self-diagnostic capabilities report optical contamination, sensor degradation, and wiring faults to the control system, enabling predictive maintenance scheduling.
Purge air integration maintains optical cleanliness in dusty or corrosive atmospheres, extending service intervals. The adjustable sighting tube allows precise flame targeting during commissioning, while the flange mount ensures vibration-resistant installation on boiler fronts or furnace walls.
Pair with ABB servo drives for fuel valve positioning, DriveBus interfaces for distributed control integration, and motor protection relays for complete combustion system automation.
Technical Support FAQs
Q: How does the dual UV/IR design improve reliability over single-sensor scanners?
A: UV detection confirms flame presence through ionization radiation, while IR sensing verifies combustion through CO₂ emission wavelengths. Both signals must coincide for flame confirmation, eliminating false positives from welding arcs, sunlight, or hot surfaces that only trigger one sensor type.
Q: What purge air flow rate is required to maintain optical clarity?
A: Minimum 15 SCFH (7 liters/minute) clean, dry instrument air at 20-30 psig. Higher flow rates may be needed in heavy particulate environments. The scanner monitors purge pressure and signals low-flow alarms before optical contamination affects performance.
Q: Can this scanner monitor multiple burners simultaneously?
A: No. Each burner requires a dedicated scanner for safety system compliance. The 90° viewing angle covers single burner flames up to 1.5 meters diameter. Multi-burner installations need individual scanners with isolated sighting tubes to prevent cross-flame detection.
Q: What calibration or adjustment is needed after installation?
A: Factory calibration is permanent. Field setup involves mechanical aiming to center the flame in the viewing cone, verified by observing the 4-20mA signal strength during burner operation. No electronic adjustments are required or accessible.
Warranty Coverage
Protected by ABB's standard 12-month warranty from shipment date, covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal operating conditions. Warranty includes replacement of defective UV or IR sensors, electronics modules, and housing assemblies. Excludes damage from improper purge air, optical contamination from inadequate maintenance, or installation outside specified temperature/pressure limits.
