Kromschroder Flame detector IFW50W/R 84359510

The Kromschroder IFW50W/R flame detector (SKU 84359510) is a burner control for forced-draught oil burners, operating with a supply voltage of 115–230 V. It monitors flame presence using an ionization electrode or photocell and provides safety shutdown in case of flame failure. The device features a housing made of impact-resistant, heat-resistant plastic and has an IP40 protection class. It is designed for intermittent operation and can be used with the IFD 450/454 control system.

Parts of this type are selected by the detection principle (ionization or photocell) and the electrical interface required by the burner control. The mounting arrangement, such as threaded or flanged, and the viewing angle must match the sight pipe on the burner. Before ordering, confirm the part number on the existing detector against the manufacturer's spare parts list to ensure compatibility.

When items of this kind fail, the burner may fail to prove flame or experience nuisance lockouts. This can be due to a mismatched detector type or a faulty sensor. Check the detector's connection and the flame signal during operation to diagnose issues.
