Enertechnix products Enertechnix has developed high-resolution IR camera systems with system control software for superior online visibility and temperature level analysis. The cameras in question are able to capture images despite dust and gas, which allow monitoring of what is happening anywhere in the combustion chamber and can block the image even at a depth of up to 24 meters. The acoustic pyrometer offered by the company is a non-contact measuring device that can measure the instantaneous gas temperature level profile at any point in the boiler with very high precision. Enertechnix has also developed a lightweight, fully digital imaging system with a visible wavelength that delivers unprecedented operational images of extremely high-temperature processes in ovens, boilers, hobs and other environments with high-resolution HD video quality. The company also offers an image processing software to provide additional information from networked cameras.
