The RB-IRGL infrared camera is a high-performance device featuring a non-cooled focal plane detector, specifically designed to monitor the temperature distribution at the top of blast furnaces.The infrared focal plane detector detects the infrared radiation from the target and, through processes such as photoelectric conversion and signal processing, converts the target's distribution image into a video image.
The RB-IRGL thermal imaging camera continuously monitors the temperature distribution above the charge surface, delivering high-resolution images of gas flow dynamics, slag flow, and material distribution within the furnace. With a broad measurement range of 0–1600°C and high precision, it is specifically designed to support thermal management and operational efficiency in modern blast furnace systems.
The system features both air and water cooling mechanisms, ensuring stable operation in the harsh conditions of high temperature, pressure, dust, and humidity within the furnace. By integrating optics, mechanics, and electronics, the system allows for automatic extension and retraction inside the furnace, significantly reducing labor intensity and providing advanced visual monitoring for blast furnace operations.
The Blast Furnace Thermal Imaging Camera probe utilizes dual cooling technologies, combining water cooling and nitrogen gas cooling. Nitrogen gas creates a flow of air in front of the lens, enhancing the air curtain's coverage and preventing furnace dust from contacting the infrared lens. This ensures excellent dust resistance and effective lens cooling, enabling continuous and stable system operation.
