High temperature camera systems
May 1st 2008

ThermaScope is a camera system from Thermoteknix Systems designed for monitoring and viewing processes in very high temperature environments such as furnaces, incinerators, boilers, cement and steel plants

With a water cooled stainless steel protective camera housing, automatic fail-safe pneumatic camera insert/retract mechanism and camera interface, signal processing circuitry and services control unit, ThermaScope is available both as a low cost high resolution CCTV video system or as a fully radiometric temperature measuring model either as a stand-alone unit or integrated into process.

ThermaScope SLK displays clear real time thermal images of high temperature processes and measures temperature at every point in the field of view. A key factor in efficient and safe operation is the ability to accurately monitor the combustion process and ThermaScope SLK sends real time thermal images and unlimited temperature data of the process to the control room PC. As fuel flow, operating conditions or fuel quality changes, ThermaScope gives operators and control engineers a clear image and instantaneous temperatures at any spot or within any area of interest.

Alarming warns of unwanted temperature extremes and process variation while direct external outputs enable interfacing and automated control.

High temperature kiln, furnace or oven operating conditions are continuously monitored by the ThermaScope SLK.

Abnormal conditions such as over or under temperature, poor temperature distribution or irregular flame shape is instantly shown.

These can be alarmed and interpreted by the operator or process engineer with user-friendly analysis tools and temperature displays.

ThermaScope HTV (High Temperature Video) is a non-radiometric high temperature video camera which displays high resolution real time imagery and is a lower cost option for those wishing to view clear images of their combustion processes without the need for measuring temperature.

Both ThermaScope systems will help to improve pyroprocessing efficiency, increase combustion control, save energy and reduce pollution in high temperature processes.
