The Torpedo Hot Spot Detection (THSD) system uses Infrared (IR) technology to monitor the temperature of the torpedo steel structure. Two thermography cameras observe the torpedo cars while they are moved to the steel shop. The temperature measurements are made fully automatically without the need of any manual interaction.
THSD automatically raises the alarm if an adjustable temperature threshold is overrun. This reliably prevents dangerous and loss-making breakouts of liquid iron. THSD automatically tracks the temperature development of all torpedoes in circulation. This allows to maximize the torpedo refractory lifetime without cutback of security and helps to save remarkable costs. THSD comes with highly reliable components in a flexible structure and thus is easily adoptable to the different situations and operational modes in iron and steel plants.
Benefits of the THSD System
Complete automatic thermographic temperature screening of the outer shell of all torpedoes in circulation
Early detection of hotspots let keep you the close control of the refractory lining of your entire torpedo fleet
Secure protection against torpedo breakouts saves life, investments and long term operating ability of your shop
Optimization of your torpedo fleet deployment improves the quality and saves time and energy
Prolongation of the torpedo refractory lifetime without cutback of security
Flexible structure for customized adoption to your operational modes
Return on investment within less than a year
System Features
Full automatic operation without stopping the torpedo car
Reliable alarm release at defined pre- and main alarm limits
Temperature trend recording and analysis for all torpedoes
Customized system alignment and adjustment
Main window allows parameterization, supervision, operation, display, evaluation and playback
Decentralized monitoring of system status and measured values
Recall of all recorded data for comparison and optimization
Easy to operate data presentation in the steel plant network
Remote access available
