Hydrogen Flame Monitoring System
Safety is always a preeminent priority for storing and handling Hydrogen (H2). The energy required to ignite H2 is small, so that spark of static electricity is enough to start an H2 fire. Once started, H2 flames are virtually invisible in the visible spectral range in the daytime.
I2R has developed a hydrogen flame detection imaging system, using cameras operating in the mid-wave and longwave infrared and visible spectrums. Automatic processing of the imagery enables rapid detection and location of H2 and hydrocarbon-based flames over large areas, with minimal false alarms and missed detections under diverse environmental conditions.
Invisi-Cam Hydrogen Flame Monitoring System capabilities include:
Autonomous and on-going operational capability in a hazardous environment
Close range and standoff detection capability
Wide field of view imaging
Day-night operational functionality
High probability of detection and low false alarm rates
Real-time alert, capable of being disseminated though smart mobile devices
