A: A spark detector is a precision safety monitoring device designed to detect sparks, hot particles, or burning embers inside pneumatic conveying systems, dust collectors, and industrial exhaust ducts. When sparks are detected, it immediately sends a signal to the control unit to activate an extinguishing system or shut down equipment. Its main function is to prevent fires or dust explosions caused by ignition sources traveling through production pipelines.
FAQ2.Can the spark detector work properly in dark or dusty environments?
A: Yes. The spark detector operates using infrared technology that does not depend on visible light. It can accurately detect sparks even in complete darkness or dense dust conditions. The device's high-sensitivity lens and optical filtering design effectively prevent interference from ambient light and airborne particles.
FAQ3.Can the spark detector be customized for different applications?
A: Yes, models can be customized for different duct diameters, air speeds, or special working environments.
FAQ4.What actions are taken when the spark detector detects a spark?
A: Upon detection, the control unit instantly activates suppression measures such as high-pressure water spray nozzles, and simultaneously shuts down fans, conveyors, or production machines if necessary. The goal is to extinguish sparks within the duct before they reach filters or storage bins.
