FlameTracker Dry 325

25 years trusted experience withahalfbillionhoursof fired operation

No water cooling needed!

Hot end operates up to 3 2 5 ^ { \circ } C

OurReuterStokesFlameTrackerDry325senses theultraviolet (uv) light produced by a flame and signals whether a flame condition exists.This rugged design reduces maintenance by moving sensitive electronics away from the heat,thereby eliminating theneed forwatercooling.The Silicon Carbide (siC) optical photodiode is designed for use with multiple fuels,low NOx combustors and steam injection.The Flame Tracker Dry 325 is applicable to a variety of gas turbine models.

High sensitivity,fast response

·Proven SiC technology has high sensitivity to longer UV wavelengths and is not susceptible to black body radiation. ·Rapid response time of less than l75 milliseconds.Similar products may take as long as l.5 seconds to respond,which creates a potentially undesirable situation. ·Built with the same proven sensing technology that has worked in the Flame Tracker for more than 23 years. ·Analog output with a wide dynamic range. ·Patented circuitry.

Reducedmaintenance

·No water cooling lines,which reduces sensor replacement time and eliminates maintenance of water cooling systems. ·Mineral insulated cable eliminates the need for electrical conduit and the use of fragile fiber optic cable. ·Full operation allowed during the water wash cycle. ·Ready to install, no programming necessary.

Reliable,lowvoltage operation

·High reliability. Ruggedized construction, high temperature materials, rigorous validation.
·Industry standard output signal ( 4 - 2 0 \mathsf { m A } ) 一
·Fuel flexibility-operates reliably with many fuels,with or without steam injection.
·Improved safety through low voltage operation.Eliminates the 350 VDC supply voltage and explosion-proof conduit required bysome sensors.
·Ruggedized mineral insulated cable.

FlameTracker

25years trusted experience withahalfbillionhoursof fired operation

Designed for peak performance and reliability

The Silicon Carbide (SiC) Flame Tracker dramatically improves gas turbine performance while significantly reducing maintenance requirements.Available foravarietyof gas turbines,the Flame Tracker flame sensor'soptical photodiode isdesigned forusewithmultiple fuels,low NOx combustors and steam injection. Reliable turbine operations for steam injection applications require the sensitivity provided by Flame Tracker.

Advantages

Highsensitivity,fast response

Flame Tracker,with its SiC photodiode,has high sensitivity to the longer UVwavelengths that easily penetrate the fog of fuel and steam.This isadvantageous over typical flame sensors that are sensitive to only the short UV wavelengths.In addition, the SiC sensor has an analog output with a very wide dynamic range and rapid response time.These features offer the ability to quickly-in less than 25 milliseconds-report flame status. This means interruption-free service and improved availability.

Reducedmaintenance

The Flame Tracker flame sensor isequipped with quick disconnect connectors,allowing sensor replacement time to be reduced from hours to minutes.Its improved sensorcooling feature lowers the impact of surrounding heat and extendsthe lifeofelectronics.

Customized conversion kits

Customized flame sensorconversion kits are available for all turbine configurations.These sensorenhancements aremechanically andelectrically interchangeablewith existing systems.The kitsolutionsimplifiesupgrading older, maintenance-intensive systems to the superior performance of the Flame Tracker.

Multiple applications

Designed to replaceexistingsensors,theFlameTrackeris applicable to a variety of land-based and marine-based gas turbines,regardless of size.In addition,itis ETL,ATEX,and IECEx certified.

Reliable,lowvoltage operation

Providing a 4 { * } 2 0 \mathsf { m A } industry-standard output signal, the Flame Tracker operates reliably with any fuel-with orwithout一 steam injection.Unlike older flame sensors that require high voltage for operation,the Flame Tracker requires low voltage, which eliminates special wiring and explosion-proof conduit requirements.
