Kromschroder Adapter with quartz glass 74960615

The Kromschroder Adapter with quartz glass (SKU 74960615) is a sensor component designed for use with Kromschroder UVS 10 ultraviolet flame detectors. It serves as an optical adapter that positions the detector to view the flame and protects the detector's optical system from high temperatures and contamination. The quartz glass window transmits ultraviolet radiation, which is essential for the detector to confirm flame presence. This adapter ensures correct alignment of the UV sensor with the flame, improving detection accuracy and reducing false signals.

Parts of this type are selected based on the detector model they are designed to fit and the mounting configuration required on the burner or sight tube. Before ordering, verify that the adapter matches the specific UV detector model and that the mounting dimensions align with the existing sight tube or burner opening. Ensure the quartz glass is clean and free of cracks, and that the seal between the adapter and the detector is intact to prevent false readings or lockout.

When items of this kind fail, common issues include cracked or dirty quartz glass, which can block ultraviolet radiation and cause the detector to lose sight of the flame, leading to false flame-out signals or burner lockout. A compromised seal between the adapter and detector may allow combustion gases or contaminants to enter, degrading the optical path and causing erratic detector behavior. Check the glass for damage or soot buildup and verify the integrity of the seal during routine maintenance.
