Siemens QRA2 Flame Detector

Technical specs, application notes, replacement checks, and related model references.

Product Overview

The Siemens QRA2 is a highly sensitive UV (ultraviolet) flame detector designed for the reliable supervision of gas, oil, or dual-fuel flames. It utilizes a specialized UV-sensitive cell that reacts exclusively to the ultraviolet radiation emitted by combustion flames, remaining immune to the glowing refractory brickwork of the combustion chamber. Crucial for industrial boilers, process furnaces, and multi-burner installations, the QRA2 provides instantaneous flame status feedback to the burner control unit to prevent unburned fuel accumulation. The QRA series is renowned for its rapid response time, high sensitivity, and rugged die-cast aluminum housing, ensuring dependable flame monitoring in extreme industrial environments.
