SAACKE FLUS 06 UV BASED FLAME DETECTOR

The Saacke FLUS 06 UV Based Flame Detector (K7-8385-602164) is a high-sensitivity optical sensor designed for the continuous monitoring of gas and oil flames in industrial combustion plants. Utilizing advanced ultraviolet (UV) detection technology, this device ensures safe and reliable burner management by providing instantaneous response to flame presence or absence.

Product Specifications

  • Manufacturer: Saacke

  • Model Name: FLUS 06

  • Part Number: K7-8385-602164

  • Technology: UV-based optical flame detection

  • Dimensions: 120 mm x 60 mm x 60 mm

  • Origin: Germany

Application Areas

The FLUS 06 is engineered for critical safety applications in thermal engineering and power generation. Its primary uses include:

  • Industrial boiler burner management systems.

  • Marine steam generation and propulsion plants.

  • Thermal processing furnaces and incinerators.

  • Large-scale power station burners utilizing gas or light oil fuels.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Pre-installation: Ensure the combustion chamber is cooled and the burner system is in a “lockout” state. Inspect the optical window of the detector for any scratches or residue.

  2. Mounting: Install the detector on the burner front plate using the provided flange. Ensure the alignment is pointed directly at the primary combustion zone to capture the UV radiation from the flame root.

  3. Connection: Connect the detector to the burner control unit using the specified shielded cable to prevent electrical noise interference. Verify that the voltage matches the detector’s input requirements.

  4. Commissioning: Once installed, perform a “Flame-On” and “Flame-Off” test. The control unit should detect the flame signal within milliseconds of ignition and trigger a safety shutdown immediately upon flame extinction.

  5. Routine Maintenance: The quartz glass window must be kept clean to maintain sensitivity. Depending on the environment, periodic cleaning with an appropriate lens cleaner is required to prevent soot accumulation.

Q&A

Why use UV technology instead of infrared? UV detectors are highly selective to flame radiation and are not prone to “seeing” hot refractory bricks or glowing embers, making them ideal for preventing false flame signals. What does the K7-8385-602164 part number signify? This is the specific manufacturing identifier for the FLUS 06 series, ensuring the unit is calibrated to the strict safety standards required for Saacke combustion equipment. How do I know if the detector has failed? Most modern burner controllers perform a self-check on the UV tube. If the detector fails to signal “Flame On” when the burner is lit, or if a persistent “Flame Signal” exists without a burner present, the unit is likely faulty. Is this detector affected by sunlight? While UV detectors are designed for combustion flames, they should be shielded from direct sunlight or welding arcs, which can also emit UV radiation and potentially cause false positive signals.
