Hydrogen Flame Detection

Hydrogen Flame Detection

H2 flame emits low levels of infrared radiation and visible light, so it will not give off intense heat and light. Therefore, it cannot be easily detected by human senses. It is difficult to see a H2 flame even up close.
Combination UVIR detectors have also been popular choices for sensing hydrocarbon-based fires because they reduce false alarms. Unlike hydrocarbon flames, hydrogen flames radiate energy primarily in the UV and water bands. Therefore, UV flame detectors are a logical choice for sensing hydrogen flames.
