Monitor combustion flames in realtime with this camera

| By Chemical Engineering

Lenox Instrument

The FireSight Thermal Imaging Camera System (photo) can provide clear, realtime monitoring of furnace and boiler flames, as well as accurate, non-contact temperature measurement. Designed to be installed through a small opening in the combustion chamber wall, the high-resolution camera and lens tube employ efficient water-cooling and integrated air-purging to keep the optics free of debris. The infrared camera operates within a wavelength band carefully selected to eliminate obscuring and measurement errors caused by absorption and emission bands present in the combustion gases in hydrocarbon-fueled furnaces, boilers and fired heaters. The camera can be remotely controlled by image-processing software, which is included. — Lenox Instrument Co., Trevose, Pa.
