Measurement & Control
No water cooling needed!
Hot end assembly operates up to 200ºC
The Reuter Stokes Flame Tracker* Dry senses the ultraviolet
(UV) wavelengths produced by a flame and signals whether
a flame condition exists. This rugged design reduces
maintenance by moving sensitive electronics away from the
heat, thereby eliminating the need for water cooling. The
Silicon Carbide (SiC) optical photodiode is designed for use with
multiple fuels, low NOx combustors and steam injection. The
Flame Tracker* Dry is applicable to all 6 1B, 7 1EA, 9 1E Gas
Turbine Models.
High Sensitivity, Fast Response
• Proven SiC technology has high sensitivity to longer UV
wavelengths and is not susceptible to black body radiation.
• Rapid response time of less than 25 milliseconds. Similar
products may take as long as a full second to respond,
which creates a potentially undesirable situation.
• Built with the same proven sensing technology that has
worked in the Flame Tracker* for 15 years
• Analog output with a wide dynamic range
• Patented circuitry
Reduced Maintenance
• No water cooling lines, which reduces sensor replacement
time and eliminates maintenance of water cooling systems
• Armored electrical cable eliminates the need for electrical
conduit and the use of fragile fiber optic cable
• Full operation allowed during the water wash cycle
• Ready to install, no programming necessary
Reliable, Low Voltage Operation
• High reliability. It does not rely on flame flicker algorithms.
• Industry standard output signal (4-20 mA)
• Fuelflexibility. Operates reliably with any fuel, with or
without steam injection
• Low voltage operation eliminates the 350V DC supply
voltage and the need for special wiring and explosion proof
conduit.
• Ruggedized electrical cable
Customized Conversion Kits
Designed to replace existing sensors, the Flame Tracker* Dry
is applicable to all 6 1B, 7 1EA, 9 1E Gas Turbine Models. In
addition, it is UL, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certified.
