How to Observe the Internal Conditions of Boilers and Furnaces with High Flue Gas and Dust Levels
Efficient combustion of coal in boilers or furnaces is a key stage in power generation. However, several challenges remain, such as:
Control of high-temperature environments
Pollution from flue gas and dust
Durability and corrosion issues of equipment
Energy efficiency and consumption
Safety hazards
Maintenance and upkeep
To address these challenges, the following methods can be used:
Infrared thermal imaging
Flue gas analysis
Endoscopic inspection
CT scanning (X-ray tomography)
High-definition industrial photography
Visualization simulation
Among these, the most commonly used methods include infrared thermal imaging, endoscopic inspection, and high-definition industrial photography. To meet this demand, our company has developed the Infrared Furnace & Boiler Camera, a revolutionary and highly integrated system.
This system utilizes high-performance multispectral technology, with images processed using a specialized algorithm that filters out flue gas and dust, allowing visibility into furnace areas that were previously unobservable. It enables quantitative analysis of fouling and slagging on boiler and furnace heating surfaces, accurately locating their positions. It provides real-time monitoring of the operational status of boiler heating surfaces within the furnace and can trigger signals for selective soot-blowing control (optional online feature).
Additionally, it can detect potential problem areas in advance, allowing timely intervention. The system supports online positioning and precise monitoring as required, continuously tracking the operational status of boiler heating surfaces to ensure stable operation. This improves production efficiency, enhances product quality, and prevents shutdowns for maintenance. Moreover, its efficient monitoring capabilities and remote diagnostic system reduce the frequency and risks associated with manual inspections.
