Flame 1750 (H2 flames)

Hydrogen (H2) is important in power-to-gas (PTG) processes and as an energy carrier. In such applications, it is crucial to safeguard plant areas from potential hydrogen flames. A reliable detector designed specifically for hydrogen flames is essential to meet this requirement.

Dräger introduced a new detector that utilises three distinct infrared (IR) ranges to detect hydrogen flames effectively. This innovative solution ensures reliable detection results while minimizing false alarms. By precisely targeting the specific IR ranges associated with H2 flames, this detector provides enhanced accuracy and sensitivity, allowing for prompt response and mitigation of potential fire hazards.

Dräger PointGard 3100

The Dräger PointGard 3100 is a comprehensive single-channel gas detection system equipped with an electrochemical sensor element to measure toxic gases or oxygen levels in the surrounding air. Its robust yet compact housing, boasting an IP66 protection class, houses all essential alarm components. Additionally, it is offered for detecting combustible gases, featuring either a catalytic or an IR sensor element and a specialized IR sensor for CO2 detection is also available.

Dräger SensorAlive H2S

Gas detection systems are routinely verified for availability, function and performance. The SensorAlive device includes a DrägerSensor H2S, gas generator and electronics to perform this task autonomously. These tests include:
- Sensitivity monitoring
- Sensor Fault detection
- Clogging Detection

The data generated over the life of the sensor also aids the lifetime prediction for the sensor.

OPC UA Server

The REGARD 7000 OPC UA Server is used to output system data via an OPC UA interface to higher-level systems, such as a DCS or SCADA system.

It is designed for the provision of data for visualization and documentation of system behavior.

Channels can be acknowledged or set to the Inhibit status via the OPC UA Server.

In a REGARD 7000 system, only one REGARD 7000 OPC UA Server may be used.

Application Focus

Hydrogen flame detection

Due to climate change, H2 will play an increasingly important role in our industrial environment. To protect the environment from H2 flames, a reliable detector for hydrogen fires is required. Dräger has specifically developed a new detector that operates in the IR range, which provides reliable detection results and has a lower false alarm rate.
