The "Ruselectronics" holding of the State Corporation "Rostec" has developed a new generation of heat-resistant thermal imaging systems capable of operating at extreme temperatures up to plus 1600-1800 degrees Celsius. Such systems are installed in metallurgical, chemical, and glass industries to monitor production processes.
The equipment remotely and continuously monitors the operation of burner flames, the condition of internal surfaces of high-temperature furnaces, and the progress of work inside the furnaces. If an emergency situation occurs, such as a water, air, or power outage, the camera is automatically removed from the high-temperature zone, and the system activates audible and visual alarms.
Previously, Russia purchased such equipment from abroad, but now the "daughter" of "Ruselectronics", the Television Research Institute, has developed its own analogue of a heat-resistant video surveillance system.
It includes a new generation of heat-resistant camera with a thermal imager developed by the company. It allowed to raise the peak application temperature of the camera from 16000C to 18000C and abandon the purchase of foreign analogues. Also, during the modernization, the camera received an updated air and water cooling system.
The equipment has already been tested at one of the Russian metallurgical plants and is now awaiting the completion of the certification procedure. Serial production and delivery of video systems to customers is scheduled to begin before the end of 2024.
