The PYROSCAN software enables the operator to remotely control the extraction and the insertion of the PYROSCAN thermal camera into the kiln, and provides accurate temperature measurements and contrasted imagery in the firing zone. Multiple measurement areas can be defined and alarms can be set in those areas. The temperature of the zones can be stored into a database and reviewed for further analysis. The software also includes an OPC client option for sharing data on the plant network as well as video streaming over IP. Values from defined areas can also be continuously transmitted using 4-20mA outputs (up to 16 channels).

PYROSCAN software offers unlimited number of zones and free shape zones, as well as live graphs display. Each zone can be associated to an alarm based on minimum, maximum or average temperature ranges.

With both images – Visible and Thermal – available simultaneously, much more details can be revealed by a single equipment.

The thermal camera PYROSCAN is particularly well suited to kilns, clinker grate coolers, combustion chambers, incineration furnaces, heaters and boilers since it enables accurate temperature monitoring, detection of any changes due to burner or process adjustment, raw meal and fuel composition variation…

It combines visible and thermal images with temperatures from 600°C to 2000°C.

The cooled PYROSCAN thermal camera is mounted on a pneumatic actuator controlled by a local electrical cabinet enabling insertion or retraction of the camera. A local air processing unit cabinet supplies the camera with compressed air for dust removal on the front window and feeds the pneumatic actuator chambers.

Pyroscan-U high performance sensor is housed in a compact, IP66 resistant box, complemented by a small size electronic IP66 cabinet and a remote computer with optional printer. Since the thermal camera is designed to withstand the environment in the immediate vicinity of the furnace, no additional cooling element is necessary and the installation infrastructure is kept to a minimum. The software is designed to send all the information through the OPC client or through eight 4-20 mA outputs, thus allowing easy integration into the Plant Control System (PCS). Pyroscan-U requires minimal installation time and wiring; relying mainly on Ethernet or fiber optic connections, the system can be set up in a few hours’ time to provide consistent and reliable monitoring over its lifetime. With no calibration or maintenance needed the system cuts down on maintenance and other costs.
