Advanced Applications of the DTSX Distributed Temperature Sensor Solutions

摘要

Explosions and fires in a plant could greatly affect results and business continuity since they may damage not only buildings and facilities but also the neighboring area and environment. They could also bring the plant to a stop and disrupt supply chains for a long time. Advanced sensing technology that can detect equipment failure early and data analysis/processing technologies can help prevent such accidents and are thus expected to play an increasingly important role. Although Yokogawa's DTSX distributed temperature sensor is an ideal tool for detecting fire and leakage, its advanced applications are expected to deliver added value including early detection of abnormalities, and improvement of the efficiency, productivity, and quality of operation. This paper introduces these new applications of the DTSX.
