3. Description
The Raytek CS210 is a comprehensive temperature measurement system for the monitoring, control,
and analysis of rotating kiln shells used in cement and lime production, mineral processing,
hazardous waste incineration and other processes. This system is a unique combination of hardware
centered on the industry-leading MP150 linescanner and a powerful, industrial software package. The
system allows accurate monitoring of the kiln shell and early detection of hot spots indicating
damaged or missing refractory bricks, preventing costly kiln damage and
extending production runs.
The key component of the CS210 system is an infrared linescanner (CS212
system: two linescanners). The linescanner collects infrared energy, emitted
from the kiln surface allowing the system to measure the temperature along the
length of the kiln.
The CS210 system provides many features, which include full-color
thermograms of the kiln surface, user defined alarms, automatic fan control and extensive historical
data analysis capability. The CS210 system also adds OPC server functionality, a powerful SQL server
for database applications, and full integration of all available accessories. Most notably, additional
point sensors can be installed and configured to monitor portions of the kiln "shadowed" from the
main sensor by physical obstructions and the results displayed as one homogenous thermogram.
Similarly, a separate sensor is available to monitor the burning zone of the kiln and again the data will
be seamlessly incorporated into one common display in the control room.
Using a optical fibre cable from the scanner in the field to the PC Ethernet interface in the control room
is a reliable way for connecting. Using fibre optics, you can prevent electrical interference from
corrupting the CS210 system. The optical fibre cable supports high speeds and long distance
transmissions (up to 2 km / 1.2 mi). One fibre optic communication line only from the field to the
control room minimizes the installation efforts on-site.
