Interlock means to fit or fasten together Developed using electrical contacts Contacts are wired to accomplish logical tasks Nomenclature :
• The “normal” means status of contacts when a switch is under a condition of minimum physical stimulus. • E.g. For a momentary-contact pushbutton switch, this would be the status of the switch contact when it is not being pressed. 2 H.G.Dholakia

Basics • Industry uses discrete input (process sensors) and output devices for interlocks • Discrete means having two states : ON and OFF • “normal” definitions for various discrete sensor types: – • Hand switch: no one pressing the switch – • Limit switch: target not contacting the switch – • Proximity switch: target far away – • Pressure switch: low pressure (or even a vacuum) – • Level switch: low level (empty) – • Temperature switch: low temperature (cold) – • Flow switch: low flow rate (fluid stopped)

Ignitors • The gas fired igniter is a device whose flame is designed to ignite a main burner. • A high voltage is generated from an input voltage (mains voltage), which generates an ignition spark at the gas nozzle. • The resulting flame generates a flame signal via the flame rod. This flame signal is amplified in the ionization flame monitor and enables the main burner. • The flame is monitored by the flame rod, which must be immersed in the direction of the flame. • Alternating voltage is applied to this flame rod. • The burning flame creates an electrically conductive connection to the igniter earth and at the same time acts as a rectifier for the ionization current. 61 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Ignitors • This direct current signal is measured and amplified in the ionization flame monitor. • The amplified ionization current activates the flame relay with one SPDT contact (special version) and the flame signal output.
62 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Ignitors • An ion is a charged atom that has either gained an electron to become negatively charged (anion) or has lost an electron to become positively charged (cation). • The energy released during a combustion process will cause electrons to be knocked loose from an atom, resulting in a positively charged particle and a free electron. • This ionization, if monitored properly, can be used to generate a safe and reliable indication of a flame.
Normal combustion: • CH4 + 2O2----->CO2 + 2H2O
64 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Ignitors • There is sometimes an intermediate step in which a uniform proportion of the molecules in this reaction do the following • CH4 + 2O2----->C++ O2 + 2H2O + e- ----->CO2 + 2H2O • The number of ions produced is greatest where the chemical reaction is the strongest. • If the air-fuel ratio is optimal, the reaction will be the strongest, and more free ions and electrons will be produced. • Since the electrons are so much lighter than the ions, the electrons travel much faster and move away from the burner mouth toward the tip of the flame much more quickly than the heavier ions. • This leaves a greater concentration of positively charged ions in the area near the burner mouth than free electrons. 65 H.G.Dholakia

Types of Flame Scanners • Infrared (IR) Detectors – Single Burner Applications – More Suitable with Oil Burning Flames • Ultra-Violet (UV) Detectors – Multiple Burner Applications – More Suitable for Gas Burners and Combination Gas / Oil Burners
• Self Check Scanners – Flame Signal is interrupted at set intervals to verify proper operation of scanner

Flame Scanners Flame scanners are a crucial part of a boiler's safety system. Their primary responsibility is to identify potential dangerous "flame out" conditions where ignition has ceased and continued addition of fuel could cause an explosion. Because of the flame scanners importance, they must be extremely reliable and rugged The monitoring can be performed by the combination of a flame sensor (also flame scanner) that transforms characteristic properties of the flame into an electrical signal, with a control unit that provides the flame signal and ensures error free operation. Alternatively these two parts are combined in one compact flame monitor

Flame Scanners Flame detection is the technology for detecting flames, using a flame detector. Flame detectors are optical equipment for the detection of flame phenomena of a fire. There are two types : Flame detector for the detection of a fire in a fire alarm system. Flame scanner for monitoring the condition of a flame in a burner
70 H.G.Dholakia

Flame Scanners • The optical flame detector is a detector that uses optical sensors to detect flames. • There are also ionization flame detectors, which use current flow in the flame to detect flame presence. • Some use thermocouple as flame detectors.

Flame Scanners ULTRAVIOLET An ultraviolet (UV) sensor is often sensitive for radiation in the 185 to 260 nm range. This frequency range is the least sensitive for natural background radiation sources like cosmic radiation and especially sunlight. The sunlight is, in the higher frequencies, absorbed by almost all vapors and gases; especially by ozone and smoke but also by an oil or grease film on the window of a flame detector. Almost every fire radiates UV light, and the UV sensor is a good all round flame detector.

Flame Scanners NEAR INFRARED : A near Infrared(IR) sensor (0.7 to 1.1 μm) is especially able to monitor flame phenomena, without too much hindrance from water and water vapor. Pyro electric sensors operating at this wavelength can be relatively cheap. Multiple channel or pixel array sensors monitoring flames in the near IR band are arguably the most reliable technologies available for detection of fires. Digital image processing can be utilized to recognize flames through analysis of the video created from the near IR images react to radiation having a wavelength of 800 nm or higher. It is only the flickering of the flame which is analyzed. Constant radiation sources, such as the glowing of the furnace walls, are not detected as a flame. 74 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Flame Scanners Flames radiating in the UV range, but whose UV component is absorbed by dust, steam or other substances, can often also be monitored using infrared detectors. The detection element of the Infrared Flame Detector consists of two pyroelectric sensors (sensor 1 and 2) and a silicon photo diode (sensor 3). • Flame most useful for its detection, is the electromagnetic radiation produced by it. This radiation covers the spectral range from infrared to far ultraviolet. Infrared and visible radiations, are functions of flame temperature and emissivity. • Since furnace and burner parts become heated by the flame, they become potential secondary sources of infrared and visible radiation, which must be discriminated against. 75 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Flame Scanners A UV/IR detector consists of an UV and single frequency IR sensor paired to form one unit.
The two sensors individually operate the same as previously described, but additional circuitry processes signals from both sensors. This means the combined detector has better false alarm rejection capabilities than the individual UV or IR detectors.
76 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Flame Scanners Strengths of the UV/IR detector are; Virtually immune to false alarms High speed response – under 500 milliseconds Solar, welding, lightning, X-rays, sparks, arcs, and corona insensitive
Limitations of UV/IR detector are; Not recommended for non carbon fires Some gases and vapors will inhibit detection due to blinding of the UV sensor
77 H.G.Dholakia
India Boiler Dot Com
Flame Scanners Since the UV/IR detector pairs two sensor types, it will typically only detect fires that emit both UV and flickering IR radiation. UV detectors will respond to virtually all fires including hydrocarbon (liquids, gases, and solids), metals (magnesium), sulfur, hydrogen, hydrazine and ammonia. IR detectors typically only respond to hydrocarbon fires. Since the IR detector is not sensitive to burning metals, ammonia, hydrogen and sulfur the combined unit will not respond to these fires. The detector is suitable for applications where hydrocarbon fires are likely and other sources of radiation may be present (X-rays, hot surfaces, arc welding). They maintain constant protection while arc welding takes place. The UV/IR detectors are highly reliable with fast response times and low propensity to false alarms. 78 H.G.Dholakia
