 A presentation on
Flame Monitoring system
 Flame monitoring is an important scheme of a
process industry where we need an appropriate
burning and heat energy

 In MCR PARCO,Honewell flame

monitoring system(UV) is installed
 FIRED HEATERS
 The purpose of a fired heater is very
simple: To add heat to a process fluid

 Very important portion of a Fired Heater

is the burners. Different Types of the
burners are available with different fuel
burning arrangements.
 Each Fired Heater burner assembly is normally
having two types of burners.
1. Main Burners
2. Pilot Burners
 Pilot burners are normally used to ignite the
main burners.
 Pilot burners is used to avoid accumulation of
fuel in the furnace
 Tripping of a heater occurs when 50%+1
burner turn off installed with in that heater
 Flame Detectors
Definition

Flame detector is an instrument that is used

to evidence the presence of flame at any
burner. It can be any type but the core is to
ensure the flame presence to avoid any
unwanted situation.
 The pilot flame detector is used to confirm that
the pilot has ignited. A variety of types exist
depending on the size of the burner and the
type of fuel.

The following types of pilot burner flame

detectors are installed at PARCO MCR.
1.Ionization Type Flame Detectors.
2.Ultraviolet Type Flame Detectors
 In MCR Ionization flame detector is installed
at natural draft furnaces and ultraviolet flame
detector is installed at forced draft furnaces

Draft
It is the “density difference” between the
cold (air) and hot (flue) gases (The pressure
difference between inside the furnace and out
side the furnace). It is represent in mmH2O
Natural Draft
The draft is maintain by burning of fuel is
natural draft. In natural draft furnaces,
snuffing steam is used for create the draft and
also for purging before start up the furnace.

Forced Draft
Air is supplied to a furnace by means
of a fan or blower, which forces air
through the equipment.
 Ionization Type Flame Detector
 A flame rod is a simple
electrode which
complete the circuit
with body, When the
flame is established, the
D.C current energizes a
relay.

 Make:ICE(International
Combustion Equipment
 The contacts of this relay can be used for
control functions according to the
application. Since it only senses flame at
a point, it will not detect the main flame.
A disadvantage is that the tips burn off
after a period of time
Working principle of ionization flame detector

Flame Ionization is the process of heat in the

Flame, causing the molecules in the flame and
around the flame envelope to collide with one
another with sufficient force to free some of
the valance electrons of the atoms. In this way,
free electrons and positive ions have been
created. This ionization process allows a very
small current to be conducted through the
flame. Flame conductivity is low. Resistance can
vary from 100k to 100M ohms. Current
conducted through the flame. Flame current is
generally in the range of 2 - 4 micro-amps. If
two electrodes were placed in a flame and a
voltage was applied, a current would be
conducted between the two rods (flame rods).
Naturally the positively charged ions would
flow to the negatively charged grounding area.
 Tip material of ionization rod: Kanthal
 Supplied voltage:110AC
 In normal condition voltage:60v to 90v
 Frequently Problem occurs:
 Tip burn off after some time period
 Rod short with body
 Tip Tilted
 Material deposited on the tip which eventually
touches with body due to this reason max
current flows through the rod
 First of all check the flame colour.The
colour of flame should be bluish
 If UV tube glowing in red colour in the
presence of supply voltage, it mean UV
tube have been expired
 Some time shutter break due to frequent
movement

ULTRA-VIOLET RADIATIONS
 The color of light depends on its wavelength. Visible
light has a wavelength ranging from about 380
nanometers (deep violet) to 840 nanometers (deep
red). A nanometer (nm) is one-billionth of a meter.
Light at wavelengths just below 380 nm is ultraviolet
(the light that causes sunburn), while light at
wavelengths just above 840 nm is infrared (radiant
heat). Other parts of the light spectrum include things
such as radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays. Visible
light is the only part of the spectrum that we can see.
Wave Length Spectrum
 THEORY OF OPERATION
Working Principle:
The combustion flames of most carbon-based fuels
emit sufficient ultraviolet radiation to enable the
ultraviolet flame detector to prove the presence of a
flame in a combustion chamber. The detector
mounted outside the combustion chamber. Its
mounting flange or union is threaded to one end of a
sight pipe inserted through the wall of the combustion
chamber. The ultraviolet sensing tube in the flame
detector sights the flame through the pipe.
The C7061F is a dynamic self checking flame
detector for sensing the ultra violet radiation
generated by the combustion of gas, oil or
other fuels. When a flame is present, the UV
tube in the primary sensor senses the
ultraviolet radiation emitted. The primary
sensor produces a signal that is sent to the
amplifier in the flame safeguard control. The
amplified signal pulls in the flame relay in the
control to allow proper operation of the system
When supply voltage applied and no current
flow in the circuit, shutter will be open. when
UV tube detect the flame, current flow in the
circuit. This current off the shutter. In this way
again current stop and shutter will open. Its
frequency is 12Hz.Mean oscillating shutter
interrupts ultraviolet radiation reaching the UV
sensor 12 times per minute to provide UV
sensing tube checking function
Shutter Coil Assembly
