We champion the Dr\u00e4ger Flame 5000, an imaging-based explosion proof flame detector, which uses digital image processing and advanced algorithms to process and interpret flame characteristics. The system is equipped with a colour CCTV camera and offers an extended field of view, with one of the greatest standard coverage areas and range of any flame detector currently available.<\/p>\n<p>Uniquely, the Dr\u00e4ger Flame 5000 is capable of discerning genuine fire conditions from other radiant sources that often cause more conventional detectors to become desensitised or produce unwanted alarms. It is also immune to other common sources of unwanted alarms such as welding work, hot CO2 emissions and flare reflections.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2421 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Flame and gas detection with Woodward Group\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-190x285.jpg 190w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2421 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Flame and gas detection with Woodward Group\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.woodwardgroup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Drager-2-190x285.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/noscript>Gas detection<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The danger of explosion is always lurking when you work in an environment that contains flammable gases and vapours. But dangerous situations can be prevented before they even happen through enacting effective gas detection countermeasures.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the application, different measuring principles can be deployed to detect such flammable gases and vapours. Catalytic bead sensors, infrared sensors or open-path detectors, in combination with central units such as Dr\u00e4ger REGARD, can provide an early warning when flammable gases and vapours are present while concentrations are still safely below the flash point.
