FLIR Si2x-Pro Hazardous Location Acoustic Imaging Camera
The FLIR Si2x-Pro Acoustic Camera has been designed for partial discharge, compressed air leak, and bearing fault detection.
The Si2x-Pro is perfect for industrial applications; it is a powerful and non-invasive tool designed to monitor and diagnose the condition of electrical and mechanical installations and components.
The FLIR Si2x-Pro enables you to identify problems early, allowing them to be documented and corrected before becoming more serious and more costly to repair.
This lightweight, one-handed camera can help you identify efficiency losses and potential failures up to 10 times faster than traditional methods, and with minimal training.
Typical uses of the FLIR Si2x-Pro include:
- Electrical faults
- Mechanical
- Rotating equipment
- Belts, bearings, and conveyors
- Air and gas leaks
- Compressed air
- Steam systems
- Argon, helium, methane, CO2, and more..
How Manufacturers can benefit:
High energy costs can have a huge impact on a company’s bottom line, especially for manufacturers who rely on compressed air and vacuum systems or use gases such as carbon dioxide in their production process. When these systems leak - it’s like money seeps out along with the air. So being able to see the system leaks, pinpoint the source, and even calculate the energy loss is a game changer!
Find compressed air, vacuum, CO2, and other gas leaks with the Si2x-Pro!
Air Leak Detection:
Examples of leaks in systems that can be detected with the FLIR Si2x-Pro:
- Locating pressurised leaks in compressed air systems
- Compressed gas leaks including CO2, helium, ammonia, hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and argon
- Vessel testing such as shipping and other sealed container seal testing
- Steam leaks in building heating and power generation systems
- Faults in vacuum systems
Mechanical Fault Detection:
Utilise sound-based technology to detect, localise, and analyse faults in mechanical systems.
This approach is particularly valuable for preventive maintenance and condition monitoring, as it allows for early detection of anomalies before they evolve into serious failures.
Pinpoint the exact location of faults with the Si2x-Pro. This acoustic camera reduces the need for extensive manual inspections and disassembly, saving time and labor costs. Additionally, early detection of faults helps prevent catastrophic failures, extending the lifespan of equipment and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Examples of mechanical faults that can be detected with acoustic imaging:
- Industrial rotating machinery
- Bearings
- Rollers
- Conveyors
- Pulleys
- Compressors
- Motors
Keep Your High-Voltage Equipment in Peak Condition:
With high-voltage (HV) electrical equipment, partial discharge (PD) represents an invisible threat that can wreak havoc on critical infrastructure. If left undetected, PD such as arcing, corona, and surface discharge - can run the risk of causing power interruptions, leading to emergency repairs. These repairs can amount to millions of dollars for remote locations and are many times more costly than planned repairs.
This non-invasive method allows for real-time monitoring, enabling maintenance teams to identify PD issues early, before they escalate into serious problems. By providing precise localisation of PD activity, acoustic imaging reduces the need for extensive manual inspections and minimises the risk of unplanned outages.
This proactive approach not only ensures the reliability and safety of electrical infrastructure but also leads to substantial cost savings by preventing expensive emergency repairs and reducing operational downtime.
Examples of partial discharge that can be detected with acoustic imaging:
- Corona discharge on high-voltage power lines
- Surface discharge on insulators and bushings
- Internal discharge within transformers and switchgear
- Tracking and arcing in electrical connections
- PD in cable joints and terminations
