INFRA-VIEW BOILER & BUSBAR THERMOMETERS

Infra-View is an infrared, remote sensing (non-contact), thermometer for regular temperature measurement inside boilers and furnaces, useful for boiler efficiency management. The Infra-View is supplied installed within a rugged protective air-cooled jacket that can be permanently flange mounted on any port, door or boiler penetration.

Infra-View can be supplied as a portable, handheld unit for mobile measurements and also for permanent mounting on Busbar ductwork to detect Busbar overheats before failure (click here for Busbar).

Key Features:

  • Temperature measurement of combustion gases upto 4500ºF (2500ºC)

  • Rugged case with air cooling and soot blow for low maintenance

  • Boiler optimisation, fireball centering, soot blowing and slag control, low NOx and FEGT monitoring

  • Hand-held and Busbar variants

  • Factory return calibration service

How it works

The Infra-View patented design is supplied installed in a rugged protective cooling jacket that is factory assembled and pre-piped with an air cooler, purging and filtering system designed to work in most severe service environments. Customer-supplied compressed air and two wire-shielded signal cable is all that is necessary for operation when integrated in a 4-20 mA signal loop supplied from a DCS, digital or analog recording device. The Infra-View®; infrared “non-contact” sensor monitors flue gas temperatures in the boiler or furnace ranging from 250°F to 3,000°F (higher-end temperature available).

Infra-View® is mounted on the boiler with an air-actuated valve held open with cooling/purge air, which springs to close on loss of plant air to protect the sensor from damage due to debris and overheating.

Infra-View® can optimize your boiler by monitoring flue gas temperatures for Startup, Sootblower and Slag Control, Low NOx, Fire Ball Centering and FEGT Monitoring.

Fixed, Continuous Temperature Monitoring

Medium: Combustion GasesTemperature Range: Up to 4,500°F (2,500 deg C) Passive Reading, Low Maintenance

Handheld Infra-View® Infrared Boiler/Furnace Thermometer comes with a sensor, carrying case, tripod, mounting bracket, and local digital readout providing loop power. Useful for taking temperatures around the boiler before, during, and after combustion optimization projects.

Busbar Monitoring Infra-View

The Infra-View® Busbar Temperature Monitor is an encapsulated infrared sensor designed with components that are able to withstand the considerable EMF generated by the iso-phase busbar.

Due to the high voltages and amperages, in excess of 24 kV/kA, the Infra-View®  is mounted on the bus duct in a direct field of view to the iso-phase bus, in order to remotely measure temperatures from 0°F (-18°C) to 1,000°F (538°C)

  • Specifically designed for uprated generators designed to produce greater MW output

  • Differing iso-phase bus temperatures indicate unbalanced loads between phases

  • Measure iso-phase bus temperature remotely and annunciate alarms conditions

  • Eliminate bus failure from heat build-up generated from loose arcing connections

  • Used for uprated generators where copper bus work has not been upgraded to match

  • Measure flexible link and transformer connections

  • Bus Temperatures are measured to within +/- 1.0°F or C with a span from 0°F (-18°C) to 1,000° F (538°C)

  • Temperature data is transmitted via a loop-powered 24 VDC/4-20 mA connection directly to the control room DCS
