Baker Hughes announced on May 15, 2025, the launch of Flame Tracker Increased Low Gain (ILG), an advanced flame detection technology designed to enhance flame sensing capabilities on gas turbines. Flame sensors are crucial safety devices that detect flame presence in combustors, triggering shutdowns to prevent damage and hazards.
Part of Baker Hughes' Reuter-Stokes product line, Flame Tracker ILG features innovative electronics that boost sensitivity to lower-light thresholds, making it more responsive than standard models. This increased sensitivity ensures accurate 'flame on' signals even with obscured sight tubes, condensation, or fouled lenses.
The technology is designed for reliable performance and accurate detection in less than 0.025 seconds, even in applications using hydrogen blends as a fuel source. This innovation expands Baker Hughes' 25-year track record in flame sensor technology and supports fuel flexibility in power generation.
