Abstract
A flame-based detector (102) comprises a housing (104), a burner (106), a fuel flow path (108), an air flow path (110), a collector (114), an ignitor (116), an ignition promoter port (122), and an exhaust vent (128). The ignition promoter port (122) introduces a gas close to the ignitor (116), thereby facilitating combustion.
Claims20
A flame-based detector comprising:
- a housing having an upstream region and a downstream region;
- a burner disposed within the upstream region of the housing;
- a fuel flow path for providing a flammable fuel to the burner;
- an air flow path for providing air to the burner;
- a collector within the housing, wherein the collector is an ion collector or a photon collector;
- an ignitor in the downstream region;
- an ignition promoter port near the ignitor and configured to direct an ignition promoter gas at the ignitor;
- and
- an exhaust vent at the downstream region of the housing for discharging exhaust gas from the housing.
