97-1048 Fireye INSULATING JACKET

Overview

The Fireye 97-1048 is a specialized heat insulating jacket designed to protect InSight series flame scanners in high ambient temperature environments. When cooling air alone is insufficient to maintain the scanner’s temperature within operational limits, this quilted, flexible jacket provides a critical thermal barrier. It is typically used in conjunction with a vortex-tube cooler to circulate chilled air around the scanner, ensuring reliable performance and extending the service life of sensitive electronic components.

Features

• Thermal Protection: Minimizes heat transfer to sensitive scanner electronics in high-temperature combustion environments.
• Flexible Quilted Design: Wraps securely around the scanner using hook-and-loop (Velcro) seam fasteners for easy installation and removal.
• Durable Construction: Made with high-quality, industrial-grade insulating materials, including a silicone rubber-impregnated fiberglass fabric that is oil and chemical resistant.
• Integrated Access Ports: Features designated openings for scanner cable entry, sight-pipe entry, and vortex-tube cooling air access.
• Rear Viewing Flap: Includes a flap on the back to allow users to view the scanner’s LED display and status indicators without removing the jacket.
• Maintenance Free: The jacket itself contains no moving parts and requires no regular maintenance.

Applications

The Fireye 97-1048 is essential for industrial and commercial combustion systems where flame scanners are exposed to extreme heat. It is commonly used in power plants, refineries, and large-scale boilers where the line-of-sight mounting puts the scanner in close proximity to the furnace or windbox. It is specifically intended for use with InSight I series integrated scanners to maintain stable operating conditions and prevent thermal-related system shutdowns.
