G Series

Furnace monitoring systems in glass-melting furnaces monitor various critical processes to ensure optimal operation and product quality. These systems typically monitor the temperature profile within the furnace, combustion system performance, atmosphere composition, glass level, cooling systems, power consumption and equipment status. By continuously monitoring these processes, the furnace monitoring system provides real-time data & alerts to operator enabling them to make informed decisions, optimise furnace parameters, maintain product quality, and ensure safe and efficient glass melting operations.

Description

Pyrosens Furnace monitoring systems in glass-melting furnaces monitor various critical processes to ensure optimal operation and product quality. These systems typically monitor the temperature profile within the furnace, combustion system performance, atmosphere composition, glass level, cooling systems, power consumption, and equipment status. By continuously monitoring these processes, the furnace monitoring system provides real time data and alerts to operators, enabling them to make informed decisions, optimize furnace parameters, maintain product quality, and ensure safe and efficient glass melting operations.

Pyrosens provides two offerings for Glass melting monitoring: furnace-monitoring thermal cameras (TE-1100G) and furnace- monitoring visual cameras (TFV-1100G). The AST furnace monitoring thermal camera system is specifically designed to monitor high-temperature environments in real-time, such as glass-melting furnaces. It incorporates a high-resolution thermal imaging camera and advanced software to promptly detect hotspots, temperature gradients, and other thermal anomalies within the furnace. This valuable system provides operators with critical information about the furnace’s condition and the performance of its components. The user-friendly interface allows for easy data visualization, analysis, alarm configuration, and necessary adjustments to optimize furnace operation.

Furthermore, the thermal camera system employs an OPC protocol, commonly used in industrial automation, enabling seamless communication between different software applications and devices involved in monitoring and controlling industrial processes. This protocol facilitates real-time data exchange, allowing operators to monitor and control the furnace process from a centralized control room while promoting the integration of various devices and systems from different manufacturers.
