A
spark
detector is usually based on an
IR
sensor that is able to respond to a spark in milliseconds. This response
time is crucial since the spark (ember) is very small and transient.
Spark
detection in air ducts and other conveyer systems are able to detect single
sparks or sparks nests that may start a fire further down the line. When a
spark
travels through the duct work of your collection system, it is instantly identified
by the SenseTronic
infrared detectors
mounted to the blow pipe.
