Choosing a suitable explosion-proof thermal imager requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as explosion-proof level, application scenarios, performance parameters, ease of operation, and brand services. The following are the specific selection steps and key points:
1、 Explosion proof thermal imager specifies explosion-proof level requirements
1. Classification of explosion-proof levels:
Ex ib: Intrinsically safe type, suitable for low-risk areas.
Ex ia: Higher security level, suitable for high-risk areas.
T4/T6: Temperature group, T6 is the highest safety level.
2. Match the usage environment
Select the corresponding explosion-proof level thermal imager based on the type of explosive gas/dust and temperature group in the workplace.
2、 Explosion proof thermal imager selects functions based on application scenarios
1. Industrial testing scenarios
Power inspection: High resolution and wide temperature measurement range are required to detect equipment overheating, poor contact, and other issues.
Chemical/Petroleum: Requires high explosion-proof rating, corrosion-resistant casing, and support for gas leak detection.
Fire rescue: Rapid response and high frame rate are required to capture dynamic changes in the fire scene.
2. Special environmental requirements
High temperature environment: Choose models with high temperature measurement limits and equip them with cooling devices or high-temperature resistant lenses.
Low temperature environment: Low temperature start function is required to avoid equipment freezing.
Wet/dusty environment: Choose IP67 protection level, with dustproof and waterproof capabilities.
3、 Convenient operation and additional functions of explosion-proof thermal imager
1. Portability and weight
Handheld thermal imagers are suitable for on-site inspections, while tripod mounted models are suitable for fixed monitoring.
2. Display screen and interface
Choose a high brightness, large-sized touch screen that supports visibility under sunlight and has one click operation function.
3. Data storage and transmission
Built in large capacity storage, supporting Wi Fi/Bluetooth transmission, making it easy to upload data in real-time to the cloud or mobile devices.
4. Analysis software
The supporting software needs to support functions such as temperature trend analysis, alarm threshold setting, and report generation to improve detection efficiency.
