61-5386 Fireye Outer Assembly

Overview

The Fireye 61-5386 is a protective outer carrier assembly designed to house and safeguard fiber optic bundles in industrial flame monitoring systems. It serves as a permanent conduit, protecting delicate glass or quartz inner carrier assemblies from environmental damage and mechanical stress within a boiler’s windbox. This assembly is essential for applications where burner components might otherwise obscure the line of sight for conventional surface-mounted scanners.

Features

• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials including a 303 stainless steel hexagonal mounting head and flexible stainless steel tubing.
• Protective Conduit: Acts as a robust outer shell to prevent damage to sensitive fiber optic inner carriers.
• Flexible Design: The flexible front section allows for easier routing and installation in complex burner configurations.
• Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with both glass and quartz fiber optic inner carrier assemblies.
• Permanent Installation: Designed to be permanently fastened to the boiler, providing a stable path for the removable inner carrier.

Applications

The 61-5386 outer carrier is primarily used in large industrial boiler and burner applications where the target flame may be obscured by movable vanes, air compartments, or burner nozzles. It is specifically designed to facilitate flame detection in environments where a direct line of sight from a surface-mounted scanner is unavailable. It is commonly used in conjunction with Fireye InSight II scanner systems to monitor individual burner flames within a furnace fireball.
