IRT KilnMonitor

Unlike existing solutions it is based on standard microbolometer radiometric infrared cameras, as used in a variety of different applications. IRT KilnMonitor can integrate several cameras per kiln as well as allowing several kilns to be observed at once.

Main Features:

Several kilns

Kiln number monitored on one computer is only limited by the hardware performance.

Several scanners per kiln

​Combinations of several scanners and pyrometers.

Kiln envelope profile

• Permissible envelope profile with the possibility to define individual limits for different kiln zones. (Green);
• Actual envelope profile. (Gray; parts outside permissible range – Red);
• Alarm zones;
• Last scanned line;
• Envelope profile is leveled with the 2D image and is with a cursor to easily see image to profile correspondence.

Kiln shell infrared image

Temperature measurement at any kiln shell surface spot. Updated after every full rotation.

2D infrared image display

• Selectable color palette;
• Selectable temperature range: preset, auto or custom;
• Rulers in the real kiln coordinates;
• Flying spot reader: temperature at the spot, position of the spot, brick thickness, coating thickness;
• Maximum kiln shell temperature is displayed;
• Areas zoom in a separate window, unlimited number or zoomed areas.

Kiln design display

Kiln parts with different colors and information on every part. Brick refractory zones. Shadow zones.

Bricks and coating thickness calculation

Bricks and coating thickness is estimated using the actual kiln shell temperatures and the kiln development history stored in the database.
