Flame Scanners
LIMELIGHT flame Scanner Products Introduction
fLAME SCANNERS CONfIRM THAT fuEL ENTERING THE fuRNACE IS IGNITING AND fORMING THE BOILER fLAME ENVELOPE | Unignited fuel entering the furnace could cause an explosion. As essential elements of a boilers safety system, flame scanners must be both rugged and reliable, while providing consistent and accurate flame safety information.
The LIMELIGHT Flame Spectrometer is an advanced flame detector with enhanced diagnostic capability.
Direct Mount Flame Scanner Assembly with adjustable sighting. Tilting Tangential Flame Scanner Assembly with fiber optic cable.
Alstom has provided reliable flame detection technology for decades. Our new LIMELIGHT Flame Spectrometer incorporates the speed and precision of digital signal processing as well as full detection of infrared, visible and UV light in seven bands, making it the most flexible flame scanner available. Simplicity of system design reduces capital, installation and maintenance costs.

design
THE LIMELIGHT fLAME SPECTROMETER INCORPORATES ALL SIGNAL PROCESSING ELECTRONICS IN A COMPACT HOuSING. | It contains the sensors that convert light from the flame into electrical signals. An integrated analog to digital converter coupled with a 40MIP Digital Signal Processor (DSP) converts the analog signals into digital signals. The DSP examines the intensity and frequency content of the flame in seven light bands to determine whether flame is present. Flame scanners operate in extremely challenging environments. Alstoms Flame Spectrometer Signal Processor is rated to operate at 165F (75C) with minimal cooling air requirements. A NEMA 4X enclosure provides a secure dust and water seal. INTERfACE TO THE BuRNER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BMS) IS ExTREMELY fLExIBLE. | Each LIMELIGHT Flame Spectrometer has two programmable function relay contacts that can be directly wired to the BMS. Alternatively, a remote interface module (IM) connected to the digital network can be located near the BMS input terminals. This eliminates long wire runs from each flame spectrometer. Each flame spectrometer network can also be linked to the plants control system or PC for remote viewing of real time flame conditions, setpoint changes (password protected) and maintenance diagnostics. All LIMELIGHT Flame Spectrometers provide 4-20 ma output, RS-232 and CANbus signals that can be used to monitor flame conditions.

The primary purpose of the LIMELIGHT Exacta Ignitor Flame Scanner is to confirm that the ignition fuel is ignited. A flame safety signal is generated for use by the ignitor control system. The LIMELIGHT Exacta Ignitor Scanner improves safety and reliability while incorporating the latest in digital signal processing and communication capability. Depending on the ignition fuel being fired, different detector heads can be provided with either a UV (Ultraviolet) or VL (Visible Light) flame scanner. The LIMELIGHT Exacta Ignitor Flame Scanner consists of a Flame Sensor Head (FSH) with mounting adapter and Flame Signal Analyzer (FSA).

Pulverizer Instrumentation
LIMELIGHT Pulverizer Airflow Measurement System
ALSTOM OffERS A PROVEN SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS OPERATORS TO REDuCE AIRfLOW AS THE BOILER LOAD IS REDuCED. | It is built on a solid design with the flexibility needed to satisfy the various conditions existing at plant sites. Measuring and controlling the primary airflow from pressurized and suction pulverizers to the boiler is a proven way to reduce NOx emissions and improve unit efficiency.
feATures:
Improved boiler operation through better air/fuel control Improved NOx control by reducing primary airflow at less than maximum loads. Improved flame stability and coal fineness control
Conventional primary airflow monitoring solutions that utilize venturis, pressure drop across the pulverizer, fuel piping, and burners, or airflow that follows the exhauster fan curves do not meet todays control requirements. Alstom offers a proven pulverizer airflow measurement system that allows plant operators to better match inlet airflows to the pulverizer load. Instead of operating with unthrottled air at low loads, the system allows operators to accurately reduce airflow as the boiler load is reduced. The system provides accurate data without being compromised by adverse external factors. While actual equipment varies by site, the system is based on the use of airflow monitoring probes (or stations) and transmitters. Damper operators (if required), delta-p transmitters and a thermocouple array and purge system for the hot airflow monitoring station are also included. A cold air duct extension, with integral bell-mouth inlet (if required) is added to the airflow monitoring station and louver control dampers.
benefiTs:

The flow monitoring probes and transmitters feed airflow signals to either a controller (if required) or, to the plants distributed control system (DCS). The accuracy of Alstoms pulverizer airflow measurement system allows the DCS to pulverizer Af2 optimize performance.
