Flame Monitor / Burner Flame Detection Controller
Marine Boiler Burner Management & Combustion Safety System
The Volcano Flame Monitor (AFD Model) is a dedicated flame supervision controller designed for Volcano marine boiler burner systems. Manufactured in Japan, this unit continuously monitors burner flame conditions and immediately detects flame failure to ensure safe boiler operation.
The Volcano Flame Monitor is widely installed on auxiliary boilers, composite boilers, thermal oil heaters, and exhaust gas economizer (EGE) burner systems onboard commercial vessels. It plays a critical role in preventing unsafe fuel injection by shutting down the burner if the flame is lost.
Its high reliability, rapid response, and durable construction make it one of the most trusted flame monitoring devices in the marine industry.
The Volcano Flame Monitor is an electronic safety controller that works together with a flame detector or flame scanner to verify the presence of a stable burner flame.
During boiler operation, the monitor continuously receives the flame signal. If the flame becomes unstable or disappears due to fuel failure, ignition failure, or combustion problems, the monitor immediately sends a shutdown signal to the burner management system.
This prevents unburned fuel from accumulating inside the furnace, significantly reducing the risk of explosion or severe boiler damage.
The Volcano Flame Monitor typically consists of:
The Volcano Flame Monitor is commonly used on:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flame failure alarm | No flame detected | Inspect burner ignition and fuel supply |
| False flame alarm | Dirty or faulty flame detector | Clean or replace the flame scanner |
| Burner trips immediately | Weak flame signal | Check detector alignment and burner combustion |
| No output signal | Internal relay or power supply fault | Verify input voltage and inspect internal electronics |
| Intermittent operation | Loose terminal connections | Tighten wiring and inspect connectors |
| Frequent shutdowns | Burner combustion instability | Inspect fuel pressure, atomization, and air-fuel ratio |
To ensure reliable operation:
The Volcano Flame Monitor remains a preferred solution because it provides:
Its dependable operation helps ensure safe and efficient combustion on vessels operating around the world.
It continuously monitors the burner flame and safely shuts down the burner if flame loss is detected.
It is commonly installed on Volcano auxiliary boilers, composite boilers, thermal oil heaters, and exhaust gas economizer burner systems.
It is primarily designed for Volcano burner management systems. Compatibility with other systems should be confirmed before installation.
Continuous flame monitoring prevents unburned fuel accumulation, reducing the risk of furnace explosions and protecting the boiler from damage.
The Volcano Flame Monitor (AFD Model) is a marine burner flame supervision controller manufactured by Volcano Co., Ltd., Japan. It continuously monitors burner flame conditions and provides immediate shutdown in the event of flame failure, ensuring safe boiler operation and reliable combustion control. Widely used on commercial vessels, it is an essential component of modern marine boiler safety systems.
