Infrared system for early fire detection Infratec

The automated early fire detection system WASTE-SCAN is based on the principle of infrared thermography. It provides a continuous, non-contact temperature measurement at the surface of a waste collection, even over large distances.

Main item of the system is the high-resolution thermographic camera VarioCAM® hr head manufactured by the German company JENOPTIK Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH. It is based on an uncooled microbolometer detector FPA.

The thermographic camera VarioCAM® hr head has the following performance parameters:

(384 x 288) or (640 x 480) pixels for high geometrical resolution
high-contrast, low-noise thermal image
localisation of hot spots, even under dusty or smokey conditions
spectral range (7.5 ... 14) µm
real-time data acquisition at 50 / 60 Hz frame rate
internal automatic calibration.
