Flame Monitoring
Compact flame controllers prove each burner flame to the burner management system, with fibre optic cables where the burner front is hot or crowded.
Compact Flame ControllersFor the flame radiation analysis, a well approved integral procedure in the respective spectrum is carried out with the compact flame controller. After a pre-amplification, the unwanted continuous wave light component is withdrawn from…
Flame Monitoring Fibre Optic CablesFor loss-free transmission of flame radiation to the flame scanner or compact flame controller. Particularly suitable for high operating temperatures (up to 600°C) and/or strong vibrations. The optical fibre consists of a glass fibre…
Furnace Imaging
Mid-wave thermal imaging sees through the dust and smoke of coal, biomass and waste-fired furnaces to show the flame, fuel bed and tubes with live temperatures. Furnace cameras give a clear visual view.
MWIR-B-640 Thermal Imaging SolutionCombustion atmospheres using dirty fuels require a thermal imaging solution with advanced spectral filtering and high resolution to deliver clear live images from within a furnace, boiler or incinerator.
Ultratemp High Temperature CameraCanty ULTRATEMP™ Cameras are ideal for demanding applications involving visual inspection or verification in extreme temperature environments.
