Dräger understands your needs
Past events have demonstrated that fires can spread rapidly,
completely devastating industrial plants and surrounding areas.
Used extensively in Petrochemical, Oil, and Gas industries,
flame detection systems can reliably detect a wide range of
hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon based fires. As an ideal solution
to the growing demand for flame detection in industrial applications,
they are also increasingly used alongside gas detection equipment
as part of a safe solution.
Dräger understands the need of a holistic safety
concept to avoid fire damages. The three biggest
challenges are:
–– detecting fires anywhere and anytime
–– being prepared to detect different kinds of flames
–– minimizing false alarms
Thats why we offer you a wide range of different
and highly specialized flame detectors for a wide
variety of fires. Beside the established IR, UV and
UVIR detection, Dräger offers the innovative Multichannel IR Visual Flame Detection flame detectors.
So you can choose and combine the Dräger flame
detectors individually to find the correct application
for your optimal safety and flame detection coverage.

Radiation and Visual Detection
Radiation flame detectors work by determining the
radiation within the field of view, recognizing any
flicker frequency that might exist and calculating the
intensity of the radiation in that area. Visual flame
detection systems monitor and interpret a live video
stream of the environment. They can be used over
long distances and some can give a realistic view of
a potentially dangerous environment without anybody
having to enter it.
THE 4 WAYS OF MEASUREMENT
Single Frequency IR Flame Detection is used to
detect hydrocarbon based fires and usually sense
radiation at 4.4 µm, the wavelength at which hot
CO2 gases are emitted from fires of that type.
Many IR detectors incorporate algorithms that seek
a flicker frequency of 2 to 10 Hz and ensure that
signals received from the sensor are random in
terms of time and frequency.
UVIR Flame Detection combines both IR and UV
detectors in a single housing. Both detectors are
required to detect simultaneous radiation before
generating an alarm, therefore ensuring the
greatest immunity to false alarms.
Multi-channel IR visual Flame Detection is an
innovative method of detection and uses advanced
algorithms to process live video images and interpret
flame characteristics. While some systems simply
attach a multi-channel IR visual flame detection
camera to a standard flame detector, more advanced
systems use the camera itself to detect the flame.
Black body radiation and hot CO2 emissions have
no effect on visual flame detection, so false alarms
are almost non-existent.
D-57080-2012
UV Flame Detection can be a good general purpose
flame detection. Suitable for inorganic fires, such
as those that are metal or hydrogen based. UV
tube sensors have a fast response time of under 1
second. The tubes generate pulses which are then
counted. The greater the number of pulses, the larger the source of UV radiation and the larger the fire.

With its Flame Family, Dräger offers you a wide range of flame
detectors for almost all kinds of hazardous substances and almost any
kind of possible fire. They are also perfect to combine with each other
to provide optimal safety.
Dräger Flame 1300
A hazardous area approved IR Flame Detector, designed to detect
organic-based fires such as hydrocarbon fuels and vapors. The detector
provides enhanced flexibility with its numerous output modes, while its
advanced features ensure reliability in the detection of fires with
excellent immunity false alarm sources.
Dräger Flame 1700
An explosion protected ultraviolet flame detector for detection of non-hydrocarbon based fires that emit ultraviolet radiation such as hydrogen, sulphur,
or metals. The flame 1700 offers reliable and fast detection of flames with
high immunity to false alarms.
Dräger Flame 2300
A hazardous area approved UVIR Flame Detector used for the detection
of hydrocarbon-based fires. With numerous output modes and advanced
design features, it provides flexibility while ensuring reliable detection by
being virtually immune to false alarm sources.
Dräger Flame 3000
An imaging-based explosion protected flame detector. This multi-channel IR
visual flame detection system uses digital signal processing and advanced
algorithms to process and interpret flame characteristics. This principle
offers an extended field of view and fewer false alarms compared to
conventional flame detectors.
Dräger Flame 5000
An imaging-based flame detector, comprising an integrated colour multichannel IR visual flame detection. This state-of-the-art system uses digital
signal processing and software algorithms to process and interpret the
characteristics of a flame. The system’s advanced imaging algorithms
are so discriminating that false alarms are almost non-existent.
