Midco International 3226-45 UV Scanner Tube
The Midco International 3226-45 UV Scanner Tube is a vital component for high-performance flame detection in Adapto Pilot burner systems. As a field-replaceable ultraviolet flame sensor, this tube is engineered to detect the specific UV radiation spectrum emitted during combustion, providing an immediate and reliable flame signal to the burner management system (BMS). Its quartz glass construction and high-intensity gas-filled envelope allow for precise monitoring of gas or oil flames, effectively differentiating between actual combustion and background infrared radiation or furnace refractory glow. For the service tech, this means fewer nuisance shutdowns and consistent ignition verification in demanding industrial and commercial HVACR applications.
When performing a flame scanner maintenance or replacement, the Midco 3226-45 high-sensitivity output ensures compatibility with existing Adapto Pilot wiring and control logic. Its compact form factor facilitates easy integration into tight scanner housings, while its robust design is built to withstand the thermal stress of continuous operation. Proper alignment with the sight pipe is essential to ensure a clear line of sight to the flame envelope. Integrating this HVAC UV detector into your preventive maintenance schedule helps maintain peak system efficiency and prevents hazardous unburned fuel accumulation by ensuring the BMS can accurately confirm fire or no-fire conditions.
Key Benefit List:
- Adapto Pilot Compatibility: Purpose-built for seamless integration with Midco Adapto Pilot assemblies.
- Broad Spectrum Detection: Highly sensitive to the ultraviolet range for rapid flame signal acquisition.
- Industrial-Grade Durability: Constructed from heavy-duty quartz to maintain integrity under high-temperature conditions.
- Low Maintenance Design: Engineered for a long service life in continuous-fire industrial processes.
- Optimized Signal Integrity: Minimizes signal noise to ensure the burner control receives an accurate ignition status.
Common Questions:
How do I verify if the scanner tube needs replacement?
Technicians should check for a "runaway" condition (a blue glow inside the tube without a flame present) or a weak microamp signal at the control test jacks. If the UV scanner fails to sense a known pilot or main flame after cleaning the lens, the tube is likely depleted.
What precautions should be taken during installation?
The 3226-45 quartz tube is brittle; avoid mechanical shock. Ensure the leads are properly shielded from high-voltage ignition wires using metal conduit to prevent EMI/RFI noise from causing false flame signals.
Can this tube be used in positive pressure combustion chambers?
Yes, however, ensure the scanner sight pipe is pressurized with clean air to prevent smoke or unburned gases from obscuring the UV sensor lens and reducing sensitivity.
