Railcar Fire Detector

The transportation of coal by rail brings with it the potential risk of fire. Coal stored and moved in rail cars can provide the environment necessary for coal to smolder, which if undetected leads to fire. The Railcar Fire Detector scans coal as it is unloaded and drops from the railcar through under track grates into a storage hopper (track hopper). Any hotspots or smoldering coal is detected and fire prevention action can be taken.
