In ethylene cracking furnace applications, infrared (IR) thermal imaging delivers key benefits:
-
Furnace Tube Overheating Detection: IR identifies hotspots on furnace tubes caused by coking, corrosion, or uneven heating, preventing tube rupture and production shutdowns.
-
Combustion Efficiency Optimization: Thermal imaging maps flame distribution and temperature gradients in the furnace, enabling precise adjustment of fuel-air ratios for optimal energy use.
-
Refractory Damage Monitoring: IR detects thermal leaks through damaged refractory linings, avoiding heat loss and structural degradation in high-temperature furnace environments.
-
Real-time Coking Prevention: By monitoring tube surface temperatures, IR helps optimize cracking conditions to minimize coke deposition, extending tube life and maintaining production efficiency.
