2024: Introduction of a heat-resistant thermal imaging camera

Holding Roselectronics State Corporation Rostec has developed a generation of heat-resistant thermal imaging systems capable of operating at extreme temperatures up to 18000S. The equipment can be used to control melting processes, including a number of refractory metals - for example, stainless steel. The equipment has already been tested, deliveries are planned to begin before the end of 2024. This was announced by Roselectronics on February 27, 2024.

The modernized video surveillance system was developed by the Research Institute of Television, which is part of Roselectronics. It includes a heat-resistant camera of the latest generation with a thermal imager of the enterprise's own design. It allowed to raise the peak temperature of the camera from 16000S to 18000S and refuse to purchase foreign analogues. Also, during the modernization, the camera received an updated air and water cooling system.

The equipment is designed for remote continuous monitoring of metal melt, flame of burners, as well as the state of internal surfaces of high-temperature furnaces. In the event of an abnormal situation, for example, disconnection of water, air supply or power, light and sound alarms are turned on, and the camera is automatically output from the high-temperature zone.

We have already tested the equipment at one of the metallurgical plants and have fully confirmed the requirements for the product laid down in the terms of reference and presented by customers. For February 2024, certification work is being completed, after which the enterprise will be ready for the first deliveries. In addition to metallurgy, such equipment can be used in chemical and glass industries, - said the general director of the Research Institute of Television Alexei Nikitin.
