Pyroscan: Pyrometric Camera For Combustion Monitoring

Traditionally, rotary kiln hoods/grate coolers are fitted with a video camera which views the flame and a separate radiation pyrometer to indicate the clinker zone temperature. Over the years these two instruments have been combined into one, i.e. one video camera and one dual colour pyrometer which sweeps across the video image to indicate the temperature at preselected points. PYROSCAN 28 is a new generation pyrometric camera which has one video camera and two monochromatic cameras for true real time temperature measurement. The instrument enables the kiln operator to see the heat transfer effect of burner adjustments or variation in raw meal composition as well as to monitor changes in flame diameter and black root length.
