Product Introduction
Gas-turbine combustion monitoring depends on a reliable UV signal that can see through the fuel fog without being fooled by hot-wall radiation. The GE RS-FS-9009-03 Flame Tracker Dry places a silicon-carbide photodiode in a hot-end housing on the combustor while keeping the electronics in a cooler zone, eliminating the need for water cooling and delivering a standard 4–20 mA flame-intensity signal.
Turbine maintenance teams stock this sensor because a failed flame detector can force a trip or prevent a start; matching the exact model, cable type and hazardous-area rating avoids the most common delays when a spare is installed during a planned outage or forced outage.
