UV Flame Monitor System
Industrial power generation gas turbine installations demand the superior protection provided by the Ontic Ultraviolet (UV) Flame Monitor System. The UV Flame Monitor System detects ultraviolet radiation emitted by a hydrocarbon flame and produces an output signal to indicate a flame or no-flame condition.
Proven Performance
This system has delivered proven performance on General Electric (and GE licensee) gas turbines for more than 40 years.
Land-based and off-shore applications include power generation, pumping stations and shipboard power generation, among other industrial uses. A variety of sensor types, amplifier types, and sensor cable lengths are available.
