System and method for measuring coal burner flame temperature profile using optical device

摘要

System and method for measuring flame temperature profile are disclosed. The temperature measurement system disclosed measures temperature profile of coal burner flames in a multi-burner furnace environment by capturing temperature images using optical devices. Any point or area of temperature captured in the image is determined by the ratio of the magnitude of the near infrared (NIR) light and the visible red light of that particular point or area, from which the temperature distribution of burner flame is developed. The two light ratio method can minimize the impact on the flame temperature measurement caused by the flame soot in a furnace and thus can greatly improve the temperature measurement accuracy.
