Organes particuliers des brûleurs à fuel. Contrôleurs et détecteurs de flamme. Leur rôle est de surveiller la flamme [...] les éléments sensibles (organes de détection) sont les suivants [...] De nouveaux dispositifs utilisent des cellules photoélectriques qui réagissent dans un très petit domaine du rayonnement ultraviolet (détecteurs à ultraviolet). Ils sont insensibles aux rayonnements de plus grandes longueurs d'onde émis par les parois incandescentes. On les utilise dans le brûleurs du type à flamme bleue. 4, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20de%20flamme%20UV
