Marine UV/IR Flame Detector
Marine Fire Detection & Fixed Fire Alarm System
The Tyco Flame Detector is a marine-approved fire detection device designed to detect ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation emitted by open flames. Unlike conventional smoke or heat detectors, flame detectors provide almost instantaneous fire detection, making them ideal for high-risk shipboard areas where combustible liquids and gases are present.
Tyco flame detectors are widely installed on merchant vessels, offshore platforms, FPSOs, LNG/LPG carriers, tankers, and naval vessels, providing reliable protection against fuel fires, oil fires, and gas ignition hazards.
These detectors integrate with Tyco Fire Alarm Control Panels and other marine fire detection systems, helping crews respond quickly to fire incidents and minimize damage.
A Tyco Flame Detector continuously monitors its field of view for the unique UV and IR radiation produced by flames.
When a flame is detected, the detector immediately sends an alarm signal to the ship's Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP), allowing automatic shutdowns, fire suppression activation, and rapid crew response.
Compared with smoke detectors, flame detectors react much faster to rapidly developing fires involving:
A typical Tyco Flame Detector includes:
Tyco Flame Detectors are commonly installed in:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| False flame alarm | Dirty optical window or strong UV source | Clean the optical window and inspect the installation area |
| Detector fault | Internal electronics failure | Replace or repair the detector |
| No alarm during flame test | Sensor contamination or wiring fault | Inspect optics, wiring, and perform a functional test |
| Communication fault | Loose cable or control loop issue | Check cable continuity and terminal connections |
| LED not illuminated | Power supply failure | Verify supply voltage and fire alarm loop |
| Frequent fault indication | Moisture or damaged optics | Inspect seals and replace damaged components |
To ensure dependable performance:
Tyco flame detectors continue to be trusted throughout the marine industry because they offer:
These advantages help protect vessels, crew, cargo, and machinery from serious fire incidents.
It detects the ultraviolet and/or infrared radiation emitted by open flames, allowing rapid fire detection.
They are commonly installed in engine rooms, boiler rooms, cargo pump rooms, fuel handling areas, offshore platforms, and other hazardous locations.
No. Flame detectors complement smoke and heat detectors by providing faster detection of open flames. A complete marine fire protection system typically uses all three technologies.
Testing should be carried out during scheduled maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, classification society requirements, and the vessel's Planned Maintenance System.
The Tyco Flame Detector is a marine-grade UV/IR flame detection sensor designed for rapid identification of hydrocarbon fires in hazardous shipboard environments. Widely used in engine rooms, pump rooms, and offshore facilities, it delivers reliable flame detection, fast alarm activation, and dependable fire protection for commercial and offshore vessels.
