摘要: A flame detector configured for radiant energy monitoring, quantification, and information transmission. The system has at least one optical sensor channel, each including an optical sensor configured to receive optical energy from a surveilled scene within a field of view, the channel producing a signal providing a quantitative indication of the optical radiation energy received by the optical sensor within a sensor spectral bandwidth. A processor is responsive to the signal from the at least one optical sensor channel to provide a flame present indication of the presence of a flame, and a quantitative indication representing a magnitude of the optical radiation energy from the surveilled scene. An Artificial Neural Network may be used to provide an output corresponding to a flame condition.

摘要: An embodiment of a directional ultrasonic gas leak detector includes an array of spaced MEMS microphones, each responsive to incident airborne ultrasonic energy from gas leak sources to generate a microphone signal. A beamforming processor is responsive to the microphone signals from the array to generate processor output signals indicative of estimated angles of arrival of ultrasonic energy incident on the array. The array may be disposed in an explosion proof housing structure for operation in hazardous location, or implemented as an intrinsically safe device. In another embodiment, a display is responsive to the processor output signals to generate an image representative of a surveilled scene with the estimated magnitudes of incident energy at beam directions overlaid onto the image.

摘要: An ultrasonic gas leak detector and test method, configured to discriminate the ultrasound generated by a pressurized gas leak into the atmosphere from ultrasound generated by man-made ultrasonic sources. In an exemplary embodiment an ultrasonic gas leak detector is able to identify a remote ultrasonic test source as a known test source and to initiate a test sequence instead of alarm. An output function generates detector outputs in dependence on the test mode initiation. The ultrasonic gas leak detector may also identify various other man-made ultrasonic sources as being neither gas leaks nor remote test sources but as nuisance or hostile sources to be identified as such. The test method utilizes a narrowband test source at a known ultrasonic frequency to ensonify the detector.

摘要: An embodiment of a flame detector coverage verification system includes an optical source for generating a light beam, and a light-path control unit connected to the optical source and configured to direct the beam through a range of movements about a center line direction of the flame detector to visually demarcate an area that falls within the flame detector's field of view. An indicator device configured to visually indicate a pan direction of the detector optical center line. A tilt indicator is configured to determine and visually display the tilt angle of the detector with respect to a ground plane. A hub structure temporarily attaches the control unit to the flame detector, the control unit pivotally connected to the hub structure so that the optical source light beam is oriented perpendicular to a ground plane.

摘要: An embodiment of a flame detector coverage verification system includes an optical source for generating a light beam, and a control unit configured to point the beam in a direction generally co-aligned with an optical center line of the flame detector and through a range of movement about the direction to visually demarcate an area that falls within the flame detector's field of view. In one embodiment, the control unit includes a movable mirror to deflect the laser beam. The system may include an indicator device configured to determine and visually indicate a pan direction of the detector optical center line with respect to a defined direction, and a declination indicator configured to determine and visually display the tilt angle (angle of declination) of the detector optical center line with respect to a ground plane.
