FGD FlameSpec-IR3-H2-HD
Triple IR (IR3) Flame Detector with Video for Hydrogen Fires
The FlameSpec-IR3-H2-HD flame detector provides unrivalled response, high performance and reliable detection for a number of fires found in Energy Transition applications. The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast eruptions of fire using improved IR3 technology. The detector operates in all weathers and light conditions.
The detector provides high-definition (HD) video output of the monitored area with near IR filtered imaging of fire events and personnel at distances up to 100 ft. (30m). This allows the rescue team to be aware of the exact situation before entering the hazardous area.
Video and data of events are stored saved quickly to non-volatile memory for post incident investigation. The recordings start one minute before detection and continue for up to four minutes.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
