Draeger At Firex North

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Featuring the latest in CCTV
flame detectors, Draeger will
be focussing on fixed gas
detection systems and the use
of infra-red (IR) sensor
technology to reduce
maintenance and calibration
intervals at Firex North 27th

Visitors to Stand B20 will
also be able to find out more
about Draeger’s solution to
fire and gas detection
integration. Using leading
edge technology products that
meet ATEX and other
legislative requirements,
Draeger’s high end systems
fully integrate with existing
plant and are designed to
meet physical constraints as
well as the operating budget.

A significant development
in flame detector technology,
the Draeger Flame 5000 is
certified as SIL 2 capable and
is suitable for use as part of a
functional safety system.

Reliable and rugged, the
colour imaging based CCTV
flame detector is also
explosion-proof. Designed as
a standalone system housed in
a single unit, it combines
colour imaging with digital
signal processing and software
algorithms to process live
video images and interpret
the characteristics of a flame.

Unlike traditional
radiation, or combined
radiation and CCTV flame
detectors, the Flame 5000 uses
the camera to detect the flame
and, as a result, eliminates
false alarms. Simple to install
with a stainless steel
mounting bracket that can be
rotated for optimum positioning,
it can detect fires of
0.1m2 or more, at 44m within
a 90Â° horizontal field of view.
