Proactive vs. Reactive

Proactive
Respond to event before becoming a life hazard or fire Gas Detectors are Proactive

Reactive
Respond to the fire event once it has occurred Flame Detectors are Reactive

Sell Safety to customers Gas and Flame Detectors provide Safety Solutions

Proactive Gas Detection

Take corrective action before the disaster occurs
Discrete sensors provide minimal alarm only data Analog 4-20mA sensors provide only measurement information Digital intelligent sensors provide measurement information and also validates it Integrated digital systems provide safety information, alarm and data management, and interoperability with other automation systems SCADA Satisfies regulatory and insurance requirements

Selecting a Flame Detector

Defining the Application: Fuels present Location of potential fires Minimum fire sizes to detect Maximum detection distance Speed of response needed Sources of nuisance radiation Environmental conditions Use Selecting a Flame Detector Application Guide

Selecting a Flame Detector

Location of Flame Detector: Optical devices must have clear view of area 3-D cone of vision ranging from 90o to 120o Sensitivity diminishes at edges of cone Sensitivity and range related to type of fire Doubling detector distance results in only of radiant energy reaching detector
