Can the IR3 be used for LPG applications?
Yes. The IR3 detector features an enhanced flame detection immunity based on the recognition of the fire radiation CO2 peak, in addition to the usual flicker and intensity criteria. The standard IR3 detector is designed to detect all organic fires, including smoky fires where the height of the CO2 peak compared to other parts of the fire spectrum is less pronounced. Since LPG fire is always a clean fire with a very high CO2 peak, the IR3 detector was designed with increased range and detection reliability for LPG and other clean fires.
