FGard H2 Hydrogen Flame Detector: Revolutionizing Hydrogen Safety
The FGard H2 hydrogen flame detector by Crowcon is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the critical safety challenge of detecting colorless hydrogen gas and flames in industries reliant on hydrogen. Traditional multi-spectral flame detectors are inadequate for this task, as they cannot discern hydrogen flames. The FGard H2 hydrogen flame detector is optimized exclusively for hydrogen flame detection, ensuring the safety of personnel and facilities.
Fast detection time
The FGard H2 hydrogen flame detector delivers unparalleled performance with a remarkable response time of just 4 seconds. This speed is validated for a 36-inch plume-size hydrogen flame at a distance of 40 meters, ensuring swift and reliable detection even in demanding industrial environments.
Intelligent Heated Optics
The flame detector features intelligent heated optics, preventing condensation, ice, or water from obstructing the optics. Its advanced optical verification system eliminates the need for a reflector, resulting in fewer false alarms.
Unmatched Reliability
Setting a new standard in reliability, the flame detector comes with a market-leading 5-year warranty period. This commitment to quality is underscored by the endorsement of Factory Mutual (FM), validating the performance of the FGard H2 hydrogen flame detector.
Advanced Detection Technology
The FGard H2 hydrogen flame detector utilizes advanced detection technology specifically designed to detect hydrogen flames. It employs a unique combination of sensors and algorithms that can accurately distinguish the spectral signature of a hydrogen flame from other sources.
Triple IR (Infrared) Sensing
At the core of the FGard H2 hydrogen flame detector is a triple infrared (IR) sensing system that monitors three specific IR wavelengths associated with hydrogen combustion. This multi-spectral approach ensures high sensitivity and selectivity, minimizing the risk of false alarms from other sources like sunlight, hot objects, or non-hydrogen flames.
Intelligent Signal Processing
The flame detector’s intelligent signal processing algorithms continuously analyze the incoming data from the IR sensors, looking for patterns and characteristics unique to hydrogen flames. This advanced processing helps to further enhance the accuracy and reliability of detection, even in challenging industrial environments with potential interference sources.
Robust and Hazardous Area Certified
The flame detector is designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, with robust stainless-steel housing and hazardous area certifications for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It meets stringent international standards, including:
- ATEX and IECEx certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas
- FM approved for Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 locations
- SIL 2 certified for functional safety applications
Easy Integration and Maintenance
Despite its advanced capabilities, the flame detector is designed for easy integration and maintenance in industrial settings. It features:
- Flexible mounting options for optimal coverage
- Compatibility with various control systems and safety instrumented systems
- Remote self-testing and diagnostic capabilities
- Simple field-replaceable components for reduced downtime
