Manufacturer of boiler and video furnace camera systems, Lenox Instrument has announced its new Furnace Camera HD near-infrared (NIR)-thermal imaging camera system. The new camera system is suitable for applications, including glass, steel annealing and reheat, and other high temperature furnaces, as well as oven and kiln environments.
NIR-Thermal Imaging Camera
The camera offers precise, NIR temperature measurement, as well as real-time, clear thermal imaging from more than 320,000 separate temperature points through a Gigabit Ethernet digital link. The NIR Infrared Furnace Camera can be installed through a tiny opening in the wall of the combustion chamber. The camera functions at selected short wavelength that reduces errors in temperature measurement, because of the target surface emissivity variations. The Furnace Camera is available in four models with temperature ranging from 1100¢ªF to 4250¡ÆF.
Lenox' Thermal Imaging Thru-Wall System comprises image processing software that enables data and high resolution images to be recorded, viewed and archived. In addition, the software allows remote controlling of the camera. The process control and analytical functions, offered by the software, include delta temperature measurement, emissivity adjustment, trending, histograms, isotherms, and multiple temperature line profiles.
Other functions of the image processing software include temperature measurement of user-defined or multiple point areas, color pallet choices, and background correction. The software also offers automatic storage of video and images on high/low alarm or triggered measurement conditions. This feature is provided with optional alarm outputs or analog signals to a DCS or PLC.
