Chemical industrial applications of infrared thermometer:
In the petrochemical industry, refineries use temperature display systems in their routine preventive maintenance procedures. These programs include monitoring of furnace processes and confirmation of thermocouple readings. In furnace process testing, infrared displays are used to detect the proportion of carbon accumulation in the heated surface tubes. This type of agglomeration, known as coking, leads to a higher ignition rate in the furnace and also increases the temperature of the pipes. This high temperature condition will reduce the lifespan of the pipes. Because this coking will hinder the product from uniformly absorbing the heat from the tube. When using an infrared thermometer, we often find that the surface temperature of the pipes in the contact area is higher than that in other areas.
The operation principle guidance of the two-color fixed thermometer can also serve as preventive maintenance:
With a portable heat display system, maintenance personnel can identify potential or existing issues. For example, overheating of engine coil windings, tight cooling fins on transformers, poor contact of capacitors, and heat accumulation in the cylinder head of compressors. Any problem that arises is accompanied by an increase in temperature, or the temperature curve is completely different from the surrounding temperature, which can be located using a portable heat display system. In most cases, problems can be identified and corrected in a timely manner before requesting to stop the process flow.
Application of dual color infrared thermometer in plastic industry:
In the plastic industry, infrared thermometers are used to prevent product contamination, measure dynamic objects, and measure high-temperature plastics. During the spraying process of blown film, temperature measurement to adjust for heating and cooling can help maintain the integrity of plastic tension and its thickness. During the process of spraying the film, sensors help control the temperature to ensure the thickness and consistency of the product. During sheet extrusion, sensors allow operators to adjust the extinguished heater and cold coil to ensure product quality.
