Keywords | Valmet Acoustic Pyrometer, Automation, China |
2D Temperature field distribution. The system utilizes 2 acoustic generators (ASG) and 8 acoustic receivers (ASR) to determine the temperature distribution in 16 zones of the furnace outlet. The 16 zone temperature information and a 2D temperature field distribution are presented on a control room screen for operating personnel to make the correct adjustments and optimize combustion conditions.
