Fireye 85UVF1-1QD Flame Scanner with UV Sensor

The 85UVF1-1QD Flame Scanner from Fireye serves as a critical safety component in industrial combustion systems. Its UV sensor technology detects flame presence instantly, preventing hazardous gas accumulation in boilers, furnaces, and heaters. This device became particularly popular in chemical plants and power generation facilities where flameout risks demand immediate shutdown responses.

Common applications include burner management systems in oil refineries and gas turbine installations. We frequently supply this model alongside ABB’s AC800PEC controllers for integrated combustion safety systems. In steel mills, it works alongside Bently Nevada vibration monitors to ensure complete process safety. The device’s compact design makes it particularly suitable for retrofitting older burner systems without housing modifications.

What makes this scanner stand out is its dual redundancy design – the UV sensor operates alongside a separate pilot flame verification circuit. This dual-channel approach reduces false alarms compared to single-sensor systems. The device’s temperature tolerance eliminates the need for cooling air in most environments, reducing maintenance requirements. A technician at a chemical plant once mentioned how its 1-second response time prevented a potential gas explosion during startup procedures.
