In the complex tapestry of industrial safety, hydrogen stands out as a unique and formidable challenge. While lauded as a clean energy source, its inherent properties – particularly its invisible flame – pose significant risks. Unlike hydrocarbon fires that emit visible light and smoke, hydrogen flames burn with little to no visible spectrum, making them extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye. This invisibility, combined with hydrogen’s low ignition energy and high flame propagation speed, means that a seemingly minor leak can escalate into a catastrophic inferno within seconds, often before personnel are even aware of its presence. The consequences of such an event can be devastating, leading to severe injuries, loss of life, and extensive property damage. Therefore, the ability to achieve precise and rapid hydrogen fire detection is not merely a preference but an absolute necessity for safeguarding lives and assets in any facility handling this volatile element.

The GEWEE Commitment to Unseen Threats

At Shanghai Gewei Electronic Safety Equipment Co., Ltd., we understand the critical nature of fire and gas safety in industrial environments. Our unwavering commitment is to develop and deliver cutting-edge detection solutions that not only meet but exceed the stringent demands of modern industry. Specializing in advanced flame detection equipment, gas detection systems, and integrated IoT platforms, we leverage state-of-the-art technologies including UV/IR and multi-spectral sensors, combined with sophisticated AI analysis. This holistic approach ensures unparalleled accuracy and reliability in identifying threats, often before they become widespread dangers. We pride ourselves on offering a diverse portfolio of flame detectors, each meticulously engineered to address specific industrial challenges, from the smallest workshops to the most expansive and hazardous chemical plants. Our mission is to transform invisible risks into detectable realities, empowering industries with the knowledge and tools to respond decisively.

GEWEE GW820UVIR3: Precision in the Face of Invisibility

At the forefront of our innovative solutions for challenging scenarios like hydrogen fires is the GEWEE GW820UVIR3 flame detector. This exceptional device is engineered to overcome the inherent difficulties of detecting invisible flames. The “UVIR3” in its name signifies its advanced multi-spectral capability, integrating a highly sensitive UV (Ultraviolet) sensor with multiple IR (Infrared) sensors. Hydrogen flames, while invisible to the human eye, emit strong UV radiation and specific IR signatures that the GW820UVIR3 is expertly designed to capture. This multi-sensor approach allows the detector to analyze various spectral bands simultaneously, distinguishing genuine hydrogen flames from other light sources or environmental factors that could trigger false alarms, thereby ensuring reliable and accurate detection in critical moments.

Multispectral Advantage

The GW820UVIR3 utilizes a sophisticated combination of imported low-noise IR pyroelectric sensors and UV photovoltaic sensors. This multi-spectral fusion, powered by a 32-bit high-precision data processing chip, enables the unit to ‘see’ the unique UV and IR radiation patterns emitted by hydrogen flames, which are otherwise imperceptible. The integration of advanced algorithms further refines this capability, ensuring that even the most elusive hydrogen fires are detected with speed and accuracy, virtually eliminating the risk of undetected combustion events.

Intelligent Algorithms and Processing Power

Beyond its sensor capabilities, the GW820UVIR3 features a powerful 32-bit high-speed, low-power, high-performance data processing chip. This robust processing unit, coupled with our proprietary advanced algorithms, allows for rapid and intelligent analysis of environmental data. The system can even detect lens contamination, a common issue in harsh industrial settings, ensuring continuous optimal performance. This intelligent analysis capability is paramount in scenarios where every second counts, enabling swift and precise detection while simultaneously reducing the likelihood of costly and disruptive false alarms.

Unrivaled Performance and Resilience

The GEWEE GW820UVIR3 is not just about detection; it’s about robust, reliable performance under the most challenging conditions. It boasts an impressive axial detection distance of over 60 meters, coupled with wide detection angles (IR > 110°, UV > 120°), offering extensive coverage for vast industrial spaces like tunnels, oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, and general industrial sites. Its rapid response time, as low as <1 second for high-speed models, ensures that alarms are triggered almost instantaneously upon flame detection, allowing for immediate intervention. Operating across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C (enhanced model) and with 0-95% RH humidity tolerance, the GW820UVIR3 is built for endurance.

Furthermore, our commitment to safety is underscored by the GW820UVIR3’s comprehensive certifications. It holds CCC, SIL2, and SIL3 certifications, demonstrating its high integrity and reliability in safety-critical applications. Its explosion-proof rating of Ex d IIC T6 Gb / Ex ID A21 IP66/67 T80°C and ingress protection of IP66/IP67 confirm its suitability for hazardous and harsh environments, offering superior resistance against dust and water. Constructed from durable cast aluminum, with an optional stainless steel variant, it is designed for longevity and minimal maintenance, providing a truly resilient solution for long-term operational safety.
