By Product Insights

The single UV segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Flame detectors play a crucial role in ensuring safety in the distribution of fossil fuels, particularly natural gas, in the carbon-based gas network. Among various types of flame detectors, both Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet (UV) sensors are widely used. IR flame detectors identify flames by sensing infrared radiation emitted by the combustion process. On the other hand, UV flame detectors, consisting of UV sensors, detect the UV radiation emitted by a flame with a wavelength less than 300 nm, including hydrocarbons, sulfur, hydrazine, and ammonia. UV sensors are the preferred choice due to their fast response time, which is less than a millisecond, and high sensitivity around Pico watt/cm cube.

Furthermore, these sensors detect UV radiations, which are mostly emitted by flames. When a flame is detected, the sensor generates a series of pulses, which are converted by detector electronics into an alarm output. Natural gas and oil industries heavily rely on flame detectors to minimize carbon dioxide emissions and ensure safety in their operations. Hydrogen addition in natural gas networks can also be monitored using UV flame detectors. In conclusion, UV flame detectors play a significant role in ensuring safety and reducing emissions in the distribution of fossil fuels.
