The very robust thermal imaging camera series PYROINC contains several types of NIR cameras that work within a spectral range from 0.8 µm to 1.1 µm. They can measure in real-time high temperatures between 600 °C and 1800 °C. The borescope optics of the infrared camera is protected by a sapphire window. The stainless steel probe cooling jacket of the camera is cooled with water or air. The camera variants PYROINC endoscope have probe cooling jacket with a particularly small diameter.
The probe cooling jacket can be pulled directly through the opening in the combustion chamber wall. The small entrance opening of the optics is air purged. Together with the automatic retraction system it is guaranteed that the system withstands the high temperatures and the specific requirements of the location. The front part of the the probe cooling jacket is able to resist temperatures up to 1800 °C with a service life between 2 and 10 years (depending on the operating conditions).
The highly dynamic silicon-based image sensors used enable a large, continuous temperature measurement range with a resolution of 768 × 576 pixels or in the HD range with 1600 × 1200 pixels or 1920 × 1080 pixels.
The thermal images are transmitted in real-time via Ethernet for visualization and further processing of the measured values. Remote access is possible at any time thanks to the camera’s internal web server. This makes it easy to carry out remote maintenance or retrieve thermography data and the current operating status.
