What is a Fire detector / Flame detector?

Fire detectors and flame detectors are designed to detect fires early, enabling rapid safety responses. Fire detectors primarily sense smoke, heat, or gas to indicate the presence of fire, with types including smoke detectors and heat detectors. These are commonly used in residential and commercial spaces.

On the other hand, flame detectors are specifically tuned to detect certain wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet or infrared, emitted by flames. This makes them ideal for industries like oil, gas, and chemical production, where early flame detection is critical. Flame detectors are highly responsive to both visible and invisible fire sources, and they provide exceptional reliability and durability in harsh environments, enhancing safety in petrochemical plants, manufacturing facilities, and more.

Application of Fire detector / Flame detector

Fire Detector Examples
１．Office Buildings and Commercial Facilities
Large office buildings and commercial facilities have multiple smoke and heat detectors. In case of fire, alarms sound immediately, and evacuation routes are illuminated, helping prevent fire spread and ensuring people’s safety.
２．Hotels
In hotels, fire detectors are installed in rooms and hallways, alerting guests when smoke or heat is detected. These detectors provide continuous monitoring even at night, enabling quick action if a fire is detected.
３．Residential Fire Alarms
Home fire alarms are installed in kitchens, bedrooms, and other areas to detect smoke and heat. In many regions, these affordable detectors are recommended to prevent household fires.

Flame Detector Examples
１．Petrochemical Plants
In oil refineries and chemical plants where flammable gases are present, flame detectors play a crucial role. Infrared flame detectors, for example, are installed around gasoline tanks to detect visible or invisible flames immediately, helping prevent fire spread.
２．Airport Fueling Areas
Flame detectors are installed in airport refueling areas to monitor fire risks from fuel leaks. UV-IR flame detectors, capable of detecting both ultraviolet and infrared, are reliable even outdoors for fire detection.
３．Gas Plants
Gas plants, especially those handling LNG (liquefied natural gas) or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), use flame detectors. They quickly detect non-visible infrared emissions from gas leaks, allowing early fire detection to prevent explosions.
