emission from the surface of a material appear as variations of light and shade, or different colors.
With our software, the user of the system can store and manipulate the images for analysis.
The LumaSense BoilerSpection system uses a specific wavelength of infrared for imaging that
enables the system to see through flames and hot combustion gas inside a boiler or furnace. This
allows for clear views of boiler walls, tubes and the buildup of slag through the flames during
normal and continuous operation. These imagers are made in the USA using state-of-the-art
microbolometer focal plane arrays with integrated narrowband (aka “notch”) spectral filters near
3.9 µm wavelength to view the inside of the furnace where combustion flames are most
transparent.
2.2 System Overview
The system is designed with proven protective hardware to provide low-maintenance and
easy-to-use operation in harsh boiler and furnace environments.
