The X3302 brings state-of-the-art IR flame detection to the difficult task of detecting invisible hydrogen flames.

Focusing on the water-band IR emissions of hydrogen flame, the X3302 overcomes the limited detection range and false alarm tendencies of other flame detectors by employing field proven multispectrum infrared (MIR) technology. The result is unsurpassed flame sensitivity with discrimination of non-flame sources in situations where traditional flame detectors are unsuitable.

Utilizing the X3301’s multi-patented* signal processing algorithms, the X3302 provides a breakthrough in flame detection/surveillance of hazardous materials that produce mostly water vapor, and little or no CO2 in the combustion process. The detection capability of the X3302 is double that of traditional UV and UVIR detectors. At the same time, it attains complete solar resistance and insensitivity to artificial lights, lightning, and “blackbody” radiation, which still plague other detection technologies.

The X3302 provides superior performance in applications that are at the extremes, and where background IR radiation is a normal condition:

• Hangars with hydrogen or hypergolic fueled vehicles
• Refineries hydrogen storage areas
• Chemical loading racks
• Hydrogen compressor areas
• Hydrogen cooled generators
• Fertilizer plants
• Silane storage
• Gas plants
• Refrigerator buildings
