Designed for critical gas turbine flame monitoring, the Honeywell LG1093AA36 is a high-sensitivity ultraviolet (UV) flame sensor engineered to detect radiation emitted by hydrocarbon flames. This sensor features a Geiger Mueller-type phototube that is tuned to the 180 to 260 nm spectral band, ensuring it remains solar-blind and highly tolerant to black body radiation. Built for heavy-duty power generation and mechanical compressor systems, this unit integrates seamlessly with EG1033 amplifier modules to deliver rapid flame status detection in rugged environments.
| Manufacturer | Honeywell |
| Model Number | LG1093AA36 |
| Sensor Type | Geiger Mueller phototube (UV) |
| Spectral Range | 180 to 260 nm |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 to 176 degC |
| Flame Present Response Time | 0.1 seconds (typical) |
| Flame Loss Response Time | 0.2 seconds (maximum) |
| Maximum Cable Distance | 330 meters (1000 feet) to amplifier |
| Window Pressure Rating | 10 bar (150 psi) |
| Mounting Connection | 3/4 inch internal NPT |
| Conduit Connection | 1 inch external thread |
| Cable Type | Teflon shielded |
| Compatible Amplifiers | EG1033 Series (EG1033AA, EG1033AB, EG1033AC) |
| Hazardous Area Approvals | ATEX (EEx d IIA T3), FM (Class I, Div 1/2, Groups B, C, D) |
| Cross Reference | GE 261A1812P14 |
| Shipping Weight (Calculated) | 3.0 kg |
Alternative Models & Compatibility: The LG1093AA36 serves as a direct cross-reference and functional equivalent to the General Electric part number 261A1812P14. Note that while this sensor is standard on many GE-licensee turbines, it may not function reliably on newer GE/NP Dry Low NOx (DLE) combustor systems. Low-NOx systems typically require pre-selected, high-sensitivity units that are calibrated specifically for low-emission flame properties.
Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes: Because the sensor relies on detecting UV radiation in the narrow 180 to 260 nm band, any physical obstruction on the viewing window will degrade performance. Hydrocarbon soot, moisture condensation, or oil mist accumulation on the window can block UV light and trigger false flame-out alarms. Routine physical inspection of the window seal and cleaning of the optical path is recommended during planned maintenance outages.
Commissioning & Wiring Tips: Ensure that the integrated Teflon-shielded cable is routed through dedicated, grounded metal conduit to isolate the weak phototube signal from high-voltage motor starters, ignition transformers, and generator cabling. When terminating the cable at the EG1033 amplifier module, verify that shield continuity is maintained and grounded at one end only to prevent ground loops.
CRITICAL WARNING:
Ensure the gas turbine or industrial burner is completely shut down, isolated, and depressurized before attempting installation or replacement of the flame sensor. De-energize all power lines connecting to the EG1033 amplifier module to prevent electrical shock or accidental fuel system ignition. Verify that the system pressure at the mounting port is at 0 bar before loosening the 3/4-inch NPT connection.
