New infrared temperature monitoring system
February 26th 2008 Raytek has launched the new CS200 process imaging system for kiln shell temperature monitoring. The Raytek CS200 is a temperature measurement system for monitoring, control, and analysis of rotating kilns primarily used in cement and lime production, as well as on rotating kilns processing a wide variety of materials in primary minerals processing. The combination of infrared sensor technology and a powerful, industrial software program allows accurate detection and monitoring of refractory hot spots to prevent costly kiln damage and extend production runs between refractory replacement.
Those familiar with the existing CS100 system will be familiar with the features such as full- colour thermograms of the kiln surface, user-defined alarms, automatic fan control and extensive historical data analysis capability. The new CS200 systems builds on this base and increases the number of lines scanned per revolution to 200, adds OPC server functionality, more powerful database applications, and full integration of options that were stand-alone accessories in the older system. Most notably, multiple point sensors can be installed and configured to monitor portions of the kiln shadowed from the main sensor by physical obstructions and the results displayed as one homogenous thermogram. Similarly, a separate sensor is available to monitor the burning zone of the kiln with the data will be incorporated into one common display.
