Overview

The ABB UR600IR/BGT is a high-performance infrared flame scanner from ABB’s UR600 series, engineered for detecting flames in oil, Orimulsion®, and pulverized coal burners. It ensures precise flame detection by analyzing both the amplitude and flicker frequency of infrared radiation in the primary combustion zone.

Equipped with a PbS (lead sulfide) sensor, it delivers reliable performance in harsh industrial environments. Its self-checking capability continuously verifies functionality, enhancing operational safety. The module also supports flexible optical fiber extensions, allowing installation in high-temperature zones up to 350°C (662°F).

For example, in a coal-fired power plant, the UR600IR/BGT monitors each burner flame independently, preventing false trips and improving combustion efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• Coal-Fired Power Plants: Monitors pulverized coal burners for safe combustion.

• Oil and Orimulsion® Boilers: Ensures flame stability in wall-fired and down-shot configurations.

• Industrial Furnaces: Provides reliable flame detection in high-temperature chambers.

• Waste-to-Energy Plants: Maintains burner flame integrity in mixed-fuel systems.

• Retrofit Projects: Replaces legacy flame scanners with modern, self-checking infrared units.
