    FireTIR – Thermal Infra-Red Imaging

    Real-time temperature monitoring of industrial plants


    FireTIR – Radiometric Infra-Red Camera Technology

    Early warning fire detection to protect industrial plants

    Many types of businesses carry an increased risk of fire


    due to the concentration of highly combustible materials
    that when combined can generate high levels of heat.
    Thermal cameras offer the ability to monitor such
    operations around the clock to detect any increases in
    heat that might lead to spontaneous combustion.

    Amongst Patol’s comprehensive range of fire detection


    technologies is its thermal imaging camera system –
    FireTIR – which quickly detects emerging fire risks.

    The FireTIR system features fixed infra-red cameras


    connected to a user-friendly software interface through
    which the surface temperatures of the area being
    protected are monitored in real time. The image from
    each camera can be divided into zones, allowing specific risk areas to be identified and to also establish non-detection areas.
    High or low pre-alarm and alarm set temperatures can be programmed for each zone, with outputs to fire alarm and process
    control systems.

    FireTIR is suitable for a wide range of applications, including storage and handling plants, manufacturing industries, transport
    and power generation. For hazardous areas, camera enclosures are available to IP66 or ATEX certification, with automatic
    camera lens cleaning ensuring the system is ideally suited to dusty environments.
    Radiometric Infra-Red System
    Thermal cameras measure infra-red radiation – a
    type of radiant energy that is invisible to the human
    eye, but detectable in the form of heat. They use a
    sensor to measure the amount of infra-red radiation
    (or heat) emitted from an object or in a given area.
    The measurements are then processed using
    specialised software to visually display the heat
    readings in the form of high-definition images or
    video. Hot spots or areas with higher temperatures
    will show up as brighter areas on the image against
    areas with cooler temperatures, which appear
    darker. Alarm outputs can be configured for each
    hotspot.
