FURNACESPECTION™
FOR TEMPERATURE MONITORING INSIDE
HIGH TEMPERATURE FURNACES
MEASUREMENT & MONITORING
Advanced thermal imaging system by
LumaSense for continuous temperature
monitoring inside high temperature furnaces in
refining, metals and glass production
The FurnaceSpection™ system accurately
measures the temperature of product,
refractory, and heat transfer surfaces inside
natural gas fired This radiometrically calibrated
imager provides users with a real-time tool
for quickly and accurately identifying process
abnormalities before they develop into
problems that can lead to unplanned outages.
The solution developed by LumaSense
Technologies is a comprehensive imaging
system consisting of an accurate 640 x 480 focal-
plane array thermal camera (MCS640) inside a
rugged IP66, air cooled, protective enclosure. It
can be equipped with Borescope lance-optics
filtered at 0.85 μm wavelength to view through
combustion gas and flames. These high-quality
optics (either with straight or angled lenses),
and a resolution of more than 300,000 pixels
produce an excellent infrared image.
In addition, LumaSense offers advanced
software as an option allowing simultaneous
acquisition from multiple cameras, advanced
analysis tools, support for OPC, analog
and digital IOs, web service, and archiving
functionality.
FurnaceSpection’s proven technology provides
critical insight for failure prevention and asset
management. It helps operators monitor
and control process temperature uniformity
through streaming images and powerful
software for analysis and historical trending,
outputs to automation and DCS, and a real-
time web server to broadcast images on the
plant’s local network. This system provides
users a critical tool for improving process and
product quality by reducing waste.
