摘要: In an apparatus for monitoring a hydrocarbon flame, a plurality of radiation sensors detect electromagnetic radiation emitted by the flame. Each of the sensors is provided with a narrow band filter so that the corresponding sensor is responsive only to a narrow range of wavelengths. In this manner, one of the sensors is made responsive to emissions due to transient species in the flame and one of the sensors is made responsive to emissions from a non-transient species in the combustion region. The signals from the radiation sensors are converted to digital and applied to a central processing unit where they are compared to produce an output indicative of the combustion conditions in the flame. An output unit responds to the output signal from the central processing unit to adjust the air fuel ratio in the flame to a desired level, such as just above stoichiometric.
