Measurement & Control

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.

•   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

•   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

•   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

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.
