C9503M-001 Fireye Scanner

Overview

The Fireye C9503M-001 is a specialized infrared (IR) fiber optic flame scanner designed for reliable flame monitoring in challenging industrial environments. It is specifically engineered for applications where a direct line of sight between the scanner and the flame is obstructed, such as in tilting bucket or tangentially fired boilers. This scanner is optimized for detecting flames from heavy oil and coal fuels, providing a critical safety component for burner management systems.

Features

• Infrared (IR) detection technology specifically tuned for the low flicker frequency signals of coal and heavy oil flames.
• Fiber optic assembly allows for flame monitoring in applications where a direct line of sight is not possible.
• Durable construction designed to withstand the high temperatures and harsh conditions of industrial boiler environments.
• Electronically interchangeable with C9501M and C9502M series scanners.
• Integrated purge hole to keep the optical path clear of debris and cooling the assembly.

Applications

The C9503M-001 is primarily used in large-scale commercial and industrial power generation facilities. Its design makes it ideal for tangentially fired boilers and tilting bucket burners where the flame position moves. It is the preferred choice for monitoring combustion in systems firing heavy fuel oil or pulverized coal, where unburned fuel or atomization shrouds might otherwise block ultraviolet signals.
