Description

The Fireye VFS-2000 Turbine Sensor is designed to sense flame in extreme high-pressure and hot environments, such as those found on turbine generators in power generation facilities. Similar challenging environments can be found near steam boilers, waste incinerators, down-fired reformer furnaces, ground flares, rotary kiln systems, ovens, and dryers in power generation facilities, oil refineries, petrochemical, ammonia plants, paper and pulp industries.

The VFS-2000 Turbine Flame Sensor responds to ultraviolet optical energy from the flame (200-400 nanometers) and has a loop-powered 4-20mA output representing flame brightness from a very low level. It is not sensitive to visible and IR emissions from hot walls. The Fireye design basis is a total separation of the optical sensing device from the turbine without the need for expensive water or pressurized air cooling systems.
