Aircraft hangars are environments of immense value and inherent risk. Housing multi-million dollar aircraft, critical maintenance operations, and highly flammable materials such as aviation fuel, lubricants, and solvents, these facilities are perpetually at a heightened risk of fire. A fire incident in an aircraft hangar can lead to catastrophic losses, including loss of life, irreversible damage to expensive assets, and severe operational disruptions. The sheer scale of these structures, often vast and open, presents unique challenges for fire detection and suppression. Traditional smoke detectors can be slow to react in large, high-ceilinged spaces, and thermal detectors might only trigger once a fire has already reached a significant, uncontrollable stage. This is where specialized, rapid, and precise flame detection becomes not just a preference, but an absolute necessity for ensuring the highest level of safety.
The Imperative for Advanced Fire Detection in Hangars
The unique hazards of aircraft hangars demand more than conventional fire safety measures. The rapid spread of hydrocarbon fires, the presence of volatile compounds, and the potential for electrical fires necessitate a system capable of detecting flames instantaneously and accurately, minimizing false alarms that could disrupt operations or desensitize personnel. Early detection is paramount; every second saved translates into a greater chance of containing the fire, protecting personnel, and salvaging invaluable assets. This critical requirement underscores the need for sophisticated advanced flame detection equipment.

Unmatched Precision and Reliability: Our Product Range
Our diverse range of GEWEE flame detectors is designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industrial settings, including the highly specialized requirements of aircraft hangars. Each series is characterized by its use of 32-bit high-precision data processing chips and imported low-noise sensors, ensuring unparalleled performance.
- GW100 Series: These compact yet powerful detectors are ideal for a range of applications within and around hangars, including smaller maintenance areas, workshops, or equipment rooms. Models like the GW100UV excel with a UV detection angle of ≥120° and an axial detection distance exceeding 40 meters. The GW100IR3 and GW100UVIR2 offer combined UV and IR detection, providing robust coverage with detection distances over 30 meters and broad detection angles. Their advanced algorithms ensure precise flame detection and false alarm elimination, coupled with low maintenance costs. All models in this series boast CCC and explosion-proof certifications, along with IP66/IP67 protection, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.
- GW800, GW810, and GW820 Series: For the expansive main areas of aircraft hangars, these series offer extended detection ranges and enhanced features. The GW800IR2, GW810IR3, and GW810UVIR2 models are designed for large industrial facilities, tunnels, and chemical plants, perfectly suited for the vast open spaces of hangars. They feature axial detection distances exceeding 50 meters (e.g., GW800IR2, GW810 series) and even over 60 meters for the GW820IR4 and GW820UVIR3 models. These detectors incorporate lens contamination detection and advanced algorithms to maintain optimal performance and prevent false alarms. Certified with CCC, SIL2, SIL3, and explosion-proof ratings, and offering IP66/IP67 protection, these detectors provide maximum safety and reliability.
- GW300 Series: The GW300UVIR3, a versatile and high-performance detector, extends its applicability to a wide array of environments, including large industrial plants like aircraft hangars, oil & gas facilities, and even automotive and warehousing sectors. With detection angles exceeding 110° for IR and 120° for UV, and an axial detection distance of over 50 meters, it offers comprehensive coverage. Its rapid response time (as fast as ≤1 second for high-speed models) is crucial for mitigating high-stakes fire risks, ensuring immediate alerts and response.
Key Advantages for Aircraft Hangar Safety
- Rapid Response: Our detectors boast response times as fast as <1 second (for high-speed variants), critical for preventing small incidents from escalating into catastrophic fires in a hangar environment.
- False Alarm Immunity: Through sophisticated AI analysis and advanced algorithms, our detectors differentiate real flames from non-fire sources, minimizing operational disruptions caused by nuisance alarms.
- Broad Coverage: With wide detection angles (up to 120° UV, 110° IR) and extended detection distances (up to 60+ meters), fewer detectors are needed to cover large hangar spaces effectively.
- Rugged Durability: Designed with cast aluminum (with optional stainless steel) and holding IP66/IP67 protection ratings, our detectors are built to withstand the demanding conditions of industrial environments, including wide operating temperatures from -40°C to 70°C.
- Certified Safety: With CCC, explosion-proof (Ex d IIC T6 Gb), and high Safety Integrity Level (SIL2, SIL3) certifications, GEWEE detectors meet the most stringent international safety standards.
