ZEECO® Proflame Scanner: Flame Rod Replacement Case Study

Written by Zeeco | May 18, 2022 7:43:38 PM

Is your plant spending a lot of time and money cleaning, straightening, and replacing your pilot’s flame rods? Flame rods are special metal rods used as flame rectification devices in gas burner operation to prove flame. While this technology is common in both induced draft and forced draft burners, it is highly vulnerable to failure. The metal components are subject to turbulent and contaminated combustion air. Dirt, rust, and corrosion quickly corrupt the electrical path and diminish the flame current, leading to low flame signals to the ignition controller. The ZEECO® ProFlame scanner is designed to mount externally and reliably monitor the pilot at a distance, keeping crucial sensor components safe from the harmful elements of the combustion zone. Utility, industrial, and commercial industries trust Zeeco to provide the right flame scanner solution, regardless of fuel, application, or burner arrangement.
