For coal-based thermal power plants, infrared thermal imagers can measure the temperature of key fire prevention areas such as coal bunkers and coal conveyor belts in smart thermal power plants, monitor the management efficiency and defect diagnosis of electrical equipment such as boilers, turbines, and transformers, effectively reduce power plant accidents, and play a vital role in building smart power plants.

Industry Pain Points

1. Traditional power plants mainly use manual inspections to inspect key areas, which is prone to equipment omissions and poses safety hazards. At the same time, the inspection efficiency is low and the labor cost is high. There is an urgent need to realize intelligent inspection work methods.

2. The traditional thermocouple method is used to measure temperature, which requires contact with the target and can only measure temperature at a single point, which is prone to omissions.

3. There is a lack of necessary means to effectively monitor special scenarios. For example, it is impossible to prevent the smoldering stage of coal piles and belt fires in advance, and fire extinguishing and rescue can only be carried out at the fire stage, which cannot avoid the significant economic losses caused by this.

The main application points of infrared thermal imagers in thermal power plants

·Coal transportation area-fire prevention of coal bunkers and coal piles

·Coal transportation area-tear and fire prevention monitoring of coal conveyor belts

·Coal transportation area-temperature monitoring of belt conveyors and magnetic suction machines

·Power generation area-temperature monitoring and defect diagnosis of boiler outer wall

·Power generation area-online temperature analysis and preventive monitoring of steam turbine and generator equipment

·Power generation area-online monitoring of generator carbon brush temperature

·Substation area-transformer temperature monitoring and fault analysis

·Power transmission area (boosting station)-abnormal heating monitoring of insulators, current transformers, circuit breakers, etc.

·Steam pipeline-pipeline temperature monitoring and defect diagnosis

Infrared thermal imagers build intelligent infrared safety monitoring barriers for thermal power plants

1. AI intelligent inspection of equipment, 7×24h online real-time temperature monitoring, visualization of equipment defects, and more accurate judgment of equipment operation status.

2. Online equipment supports POE power supply, convenient wiring, reduced cost investment, and convenient later maintenance.

3. Real-time upload of temperature data can realize automatic alarm, automatic generation of reports and temperature curves, and can view the historical temperature and alarm information of the equipment

4. Accurately locate the fire point, real-time monitoring of fire-prone areas such as coal bunkers and belts, and timely detect abnormal temperature points based on passive long-distance detection of infrared thermal imagers, so as to achieve pre-prevention and post-tracing, and effectively avoid the significant economic losses caused by fire accidents to customers.

5. Remote operation and maintenance of equipment and online inspection can free up inspection manpower, reduce the investment cost of power plants, and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
