FlameSightVideo is a system for continuous visual monitoring of high temperature processes with a sensor lance. A high quality picture with wide angle of view and a small sensor diameter is achieved using a boroskope as lens. With this technology the CCD camera can be mounted in the cold part of the lance. This way sensitive equipment is mounted outside the combustion chamber, allowing continuous use with high process temperatures. To protect the boroscope tip against slag and ash particles an additional sapphire lens and air flushing is used.
The pictures coming from the sensor can be viewed and analysed directly in the control room. |

Application examples |
 |
Cement Industry: Monitoring of rotary kiln flame, clinker output and clinker cooler |
|
Waste incineration plants: Visualization of flame post combustion chambers and flame front monitoring |
|
Power plants: Burning analysis and slag monitoring |
|
Chemical industry: Monitoring ore calcination and hazardous waste disposal |
|
Steel industry: Annealing and pusher furnace monitoring |
|
Glass industry: Scale formation and melting charge control | |
|
Advantages |
|
Excellent optical properties
enable details of the process to be identified and changes to be followed |
|
General purpose
with process temperatures up to 1,800°C and extremely small lens opening |
|
Expandable modular system
that can be easily upgraded to a thermography system |
|
High availability
because the video picture is transmitted between the field components and the monitor over a fibre optic making it insensitive to distance and extremely noise immune |
|
Minimum maintance
the sensor has no moving parts to be adjusted. | |
| Thermography |
|
In addition to the visualization functions of the video system, FlameSightTherm gives the operator optimization capabilities through thermography: |
|
Representation of temperature distribution
The FlameSightTherm software cgenerates a colour-coded thermography representation from the video picture |
|
High temperature process optimization
FlameSightTherm provides online temperature evaluation and distributions as needed for example, for NOx reduction |
|
Calculation of particular process properties.
FlameSightTherm can be adapted for special tasks, for example recognition of flame fronts or unbalanced burning zones | |
