LumaSense Technologies BoilerSpection infrared thermal imaging system

The BoilerSpection infrared thermal imaging system from LumaSense Technologies is designed to assist with the detection and removal of the ash and slag on boiler tubes that reduces efficiency - without the necessity of shutting down the furnace. Other applications include combustion tuning and management of fuel switching.

The uncooled microbolometer infrared detector operates at a wavelength of 3.9 µm, allowing measurement and imaging through flame, and has a measurement range of 400-1600°C. The product is available as a permanently mounted system, with automatic retraction of the stainless steel lens with borescope optics if air or power is disrupted. Up to 24 cameras can be connected to a single control room server via the camera’s ethernet output and the software features alarms, automated image analysis, regions of interest and auto archiving.

A portable version of the system is also offered, featuring a variety of lens options (straight or angled with different lengths and fields of view) and a wireless display with DVR capture to SD memory card. A comprehensive options list caters for the majority of installations; additionally, mounting options can be customised.
