Revolutionizing Flame Detection with the Uvisor™ SF810 Multi-Fuel Safe Flame Scanner

The Uvisor™ SF810 Multi-Fuel Safe Flame Scanner from ABB represents a major advancement in flame detection technology for utility and industrial boilers. The system combines the successful Uvisor™ and Safe Flame DFS products into a single, highly efficient unit. In industrial automation, reliable flame detection is crucial to maintain safety and efficiency in combustion processes. With this advanced technology, industries can now ensure continuous flame monitoring and quality control across a wide range of fuel types.

Multi-Fuel Capability Ensures Versatility

One key strength of the Uvisor™ SF810 is its versatility. This flame scanner is capable of detecting flames fueled by a variety of sources, including natural gas, coke oven gas, light and heavy fuel oil, Orimulsion, and pulverized coal. This multi-fuel capability allows the system to be deployed in different types of boiler configurations, such as wall-fired, corner-fired, WHRB, down-shot, and cyclone burner types. This adaptability makes the SF810 suitable for both utility and industrial applications, offering flexibility that few other products can match.

Advanced Flame Detection with Solid State Sensors

The solid-state sensors embedded within the SF810 are cutting-edge, offering coverage across the full spectrum of flame radiation, from UV, visible light (VL), to infrared (IR). Furthermore, the dual-sensor UVIR technology significantly enhances the accuracy of flame detection, even under challenging environmental conditions. This combination ensures that the system delivers stable and reliable data on flame consistency and quality, which is critical for maintaining optimal combustion performance in industrial boilers.

Enhanced Safety with Continuous Self-Check and Fast Response Time

Safety is a key feature of the Uvisor™ SF810. The flame scanner includes continuous self-check mechanisms, which ensure that the system is always operating optimally. Moreover, its Fast Flame Failure Response Time (F-FFRT) further enhances safety by allowing quick detection and response to flame failure events. In high-risk environments, such features are indispensable for preventing catastrophic failures and maintaining uninterrupted operations.

Built for Harsh Environments

The Uvisor™ SF810 is designed to withstand harsh conditions. It is housed in a rugged, proven enclosure that complies with ATEX II 2GD Ex d IIC T6 certifications, making it suitable for hazardous areas. The flame scanner also carries an IP66-IP67 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress. These features make the SF810 ideal for demanding environments where reliability and durability are paramount.

Installation Flexibility with Line of Sight and Fibre Optic Options

Installation flexibility is another strength of the Uvisor™ SF810. The system can be mounted using either line-of-sight (LOS) accessories for wall-fired burners or fibre optic cable (FOC) systems for corner-fired tilting burners. These options allow the system to be tailored to specific installation needs, ensuring maximum effectiveness in flame detection. Whether for new setups or retrofitting existing systems, the SF810’s design ensures smooth integration.

Conclusion: A Game-Changer in Flame Detection

The Uvisor™ SF810 Multi-Fuel Safe Flame Scanner is a breakthrough for industries relying on boilers for power generation or other critical processes. Its ability to handle multiple fuel types, coupled with its advanced detection capabilities and rugged design, ensures it can meet the highest demands of modern industrial automation. By incorporating state-of-the-art sensors, fast response times, and robust safety features, ABB’s SF810 is a reliable solution that helps companies maintain operational efficiency and safety while reducing downtime and risk.
