Take the difficulty out of inspection reporting with the latest technology from FLIR:
- Increase safety while avoiding costly failures is possible with the new Si2-Series
- The new 'mech mode' feature of the Si2-Series enhances site safety by enabling quick detection of mechanical issues, such as bearing faults, empowering professionals to rapidly evaluate conditions, identify problems, and implement solutions.
Teledyne FLIR have unveiled its latest acoustic imaging cameras, the FLIR Si2 with the introduction of three new models tailored to excel in identifying compressed air leaks, specialty gas leaks, mechanical faults, and partial discharges.
Incorporating superior performance, the Si2 Series cameras boast extended detection ranges, heightened sensitivity, and enhanced accuracy in issue classification. With notable improvements in image quality, including a 12 MP color camera, 8x digital zoom, and LED illumination for improved visibility in dark areas, these cameras offer unparalleled precision. Moreover, the Si2 Series now features an extended battery life, ensuring prolonged field operation without the hassle of frequent power source changes.
Expanding beyond compressed air, the Si2 cameras now offer quantification and cost estimates for various industrial gases like hydrogen, CO₂, methane, helium, argon, and ammonia. Leveraging advanced acoustic imaging technologies, these cameras effectively detect and quantify air and gas leaks, mechanical faults, and partial discharges, establishing themselves as top-tier solutions in the market.
The Si2-Pro, Si2-LD, and Si2-PD models cater to specific needs, offering functionalities such as pressurized leak detection, mechanical fault detection, and partial discharge detection with on-camera severity assessments. The innovative 'mech mode' feature enhances site safety by enabling quick detection of mechanical issues like bearing faults, empowering professionals to swiftly evaluate conditions and implement necessary measures.
Professionals can leverage the Si2 cameras' decision support tools for mechanical defect measurement, partial discharge severity assessment, leak size estimation, and cost analysis. The Si2-Pro, in particular, serves as a comprehensive solution, addressing mechanical bearing issues, partial discharge on electrical equipment, and minimising expenses from compressed air and gas leaks.
