Online Inspection in High Temperature Ducts
Airflow Sciences Equipment has developed an inspection camera tailored to performing duct and stack internal inspections while the systems are operational. The Flow-Scope Hi-T features an HD video camera and uses a supplemental cooling air system to allow for video inspections in duct systems operating at up to 750°F, simplifying many troubleshooting or preventative maintenance tasks.
The Flow-Scope Hi-T is robust and requires only a 2” test port to provide real-time video inspection of duct internals. The integrated lighting system allows for a viewing range of up to 20 feet from the camera. The light brightness is fully adjustable, so the user can make modifications on the fly to avoid any washed-out images.
The camera probe uses an air cooling system to allow for testing in high-temperature ducts. Both the camera and the probe cooling system run on standard 120VAC, so no exotic connections are required; test any location that has a power outlet. The camera probe can be customized for each client, with a maximum probe length of 20 feet, for inspecting even the most remote duct location. The integrated display allows for real-time visualization of the duct internals, while each video is recorded to a USB drive for later analysis.
