Portable Furnace Thermal Imaging System

Portable Furnace Thermal Imaging System
The Portable Furnace Thermal Imaging System is an accessory kit designed for use with the AMETEK Land range of NIR-B/MWIR-B borescope thermal imaging cameras. It can be used for TMT measurements, regular furnace inspections and surveys. This supports on-site monitoring and analysis to prolong furnace/tube lifetimes, optimize burner efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and improve plant profitability.

  • Overview +


    To optimise the operation of furnaces the temperature within the furnace must be measured frequently and the temperature distribution monitored. In addition to using pyrometers to take point measurements, high-resolution thermal imaging systems are also available as fixed installations or as portable units.

    For taking furnace measurements and undertaking surveys, the easy to handle portable furnace thermal imaging system is ideal, when used with AMETEK Land’s borescopes.

    This portable system includes a battery power supply and air connection for purging the imager whilst collecting short clips of the process. Plus, the advanced IMAGEPro thermal imaging software is installed on a Windows® tablet  and enables extensive on-site real-time monitoring and analysis of the thermal data, with detailed evaluation being carried out at a later time.

    FULLY PORTABLE SYSTEM
    Easy to handle and operate system for flexible on-site furnace measurements and surveys.

    BATTERY POWERED
    The system provides the power for the imager, while the tablet is used for monitoring, analysing and capturing of data.

    ADVANCED IMAGEPro THERMAL IMAGING SOFTWARE
    Provides a full online view into the furnace during the measurements on-site and enables data capture for further analysis.

    MULTIPLE HIGH-RESOLUTION FURNACE THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEMS
    Combines with market leading advanced thermal imaging borescopes to provide multiple temperature and spectral ranges for different furnace applications and locations.

    PROTECTION & SAFETY
    The easy to handle and carry system can be easily operated by two people, working at a safe distance to the furnace, while the integrated heat shield protects the operator during furnace measurements.
