PYRONEER Series becomes Moisture Resistant
Spectrometers are used worldwide under diverse climatic conditions. Their dependable performance relies on the integrated pyroelectric detector’s ability to withstand fluctuating environmental conditions. A key element here is the entrance window for infrared radiation in the detector’s cap. Located in a cap welded to the detector base, this window acts as a potential entry point for moisture into the detector. ZnSe ARC: New window material ensuring moisture resistance InfraTec uses potassium bromide (KBr) windows, renowned for their broadband high infrared transmission, for its PYRONEER family of metal blackbody detectors. However, exposing a detector to a damp environment can permanently impair the transmission capabilities of KBr. In addition, moisture infiltration through…

PYRONEER-Serie wird feuchteresistent
Spektrometer werden weltweit in verschiedenen klimatischen Bedingungen eingesetzt. Damit diese zuverlässig funktionieren, muss auch der verbaute pyroelektrische Detektor den wechselnden Umgebungen standhalten. Ein entscheidender Faktor dabei ist das Eintrittsfenster für die Infrarotstrahlung in der Kappe des Detektors. In einer mit dem Detektorsockel verschweißten Kappe ist dieses ein möglicher Eintrittspunkt für Feuchtigkeit in den Detektor. ZnSe-ARC: Neues Fenstermaterial für Feuchteresistenz InfraTec verwendet für seine Metallschwarzschichtdetektoren der PYRONEER-Familie die für ihre breitbandig hohe Infrarottransmission bekannten Kaliumbromidfenster (KBr). Die Aussetzung des Detektors an eine feuchte Umgebung kann die Transmission von KBr jedoch dauerhaft negativ beeinträchtigen. Zusätzlich kann die Leistungsfähigkeit des Detektors durch Feuchteeintritt über die Fensterklebung sinken. Mit der High-Performance-Detektorfamilie PYRONEER geht InfraTec…

Online Event: Applications for Thermal Imaging on Wind Power Systems
Around the world more and more electricity is generated from wind power. As the number of wind turbines increases, so does the need to monitor them and optimize their efficiency. Contamination or erosion of rotor blades or damage to auxiliary equipment such as boundary layer fences, vortex generators and zigzag belt turbulators can significantly reduce the yield. Thermography offers an efficient way to detect these defects from a distance of several hundred meters and while the rotors are running. In the online event “Applications for Thermal Imaging on Wind Power Systems”, the InfraTec experts explain how thermography can be used for the optimization, development and maintenance of wind turbines. In…

Online Event: Thermography and Digital Image Correlation
In the field of materials testing, numerous methods have been established including infrared thermography. Often, it is the combination of different methods that enables the desired results for component characterisation. For example, you can analyse displacements and mechanical deformations of material samples and components parallel with its thermal reaction. The ARAMIS system by ZEISS/GOM, using digital image correlation (DIC), offers the appropriate measurement instrument for such investigations. Corresponding DIC evaluations can be combined with thermographic measurements using infrared cameras from InfraTec. The combination of measuring results from the DIC and temperature measuring data from infrared cameras offers the simultaneous analysis of the thermal and mechanical behaviour of test specimens in…
