Optical Pyrometry System (Rotamap II)

Software: Rotamap II

Our specialised controlling software Rotamap II, which is installed in the external control rack of the pyrometer system, generates a radiance map of the blade scanned area and features the following:

Rotamap II Configuration

• Rotor and sight tube geometry data input.
• Sight tube calibration software is built into the system and forms one of the parameter inputs. Note a ‘black body’ furnace or similar is required if customers wish to undertake their own calibration of the pyrometer sight tube(s).
• Information is stored for quick selection at test time.

Shown on the right is a non-removable oscillating mirror sight tube and electro-mechanically actuated pyrometer being calibrated using a black body furnace. When calibrating a removable fixed mirror or oscillating mirror sight tube the actuator is not required.

Rotamap II Function Testing

• Verification of all individual drive functions is available.
• Verification of all data acquired ‘end to end’, from sight tube mirror to the computer complete with test input.
• Verification of position information signals including sight tube, engine speed, etc.

Rotamap II Scanning.

• Fully automatic scan procedure
• Status and progress monitored and reported during full system operation.
• Automatic alerts and manual override.
• Data stored for future reference.

Rotamap II Data Display.

• Engine data decoded to radiance and position.
• Data processing filters out random noise and flame.
• Selection of display types for quick analysis - for rotor and linear images.
• Selection of file formats for further analysis - BIN, Text and CSV.

Rotamap II System Specification.

These are nominal values and are accurately defined on a job-by-job basis.

Nominal Temperature Measurement Capability.

Minimum temperature : 550°C
Maximum temperature : >1400°C.

Note: The above values are interdependent and dependent on measuring distance and sight tube access.

Detector / Pre-Amplifier Module Characteristics.

Detector type : Silicon or InGaAs Diode - dependent upon application.

Wide band, low noise instrumentation amplifier bandwidth DC to 300 kHz (+/- 3 db) minimum.
