FluoroSenz Fiber Optic Temperature Monitoring System

Reliable Temperature Measurement system designed for point measurement in variety of applications such as Energy, Oil & Gas, and Industrial. It is suitable for precise and accurate measurements in harsh environments.

Principle

Detects single point temperature by measuring the decay time of Fluorescent material formed at the tip of the fiber optic sensor cable.

Temperature range of -40 °C to 260 °C.

FluoroSenz Fiber Optic Temperature Monitoring System conducts real time monitoring to accurately measure point temperatures of hotspots in Transformers, Switchgears, Generators. It is designed specifically for use in harsh environments with High Electric and Magnetic fields. The system is based on Calibration-free Fluorescence Time Decay Technology, which eliminates the need for sensor recalibration over the sensor’s lifetime.

The System is based on Fluorescence Time Decay of a Rare-Earth Fluorescence Sensor formed on the tip of the Optical Fiber. The other end of the fiber is attached to a light source which is used to excite the Fluorescent material. After excitation, the excited fluorescent material tends to return from its peak state to ground state by emitting a photon (light). This time taken to reach to the ground state is dependent on the ambient temperature and thus temperature is deduced by forming a relation between Time Decay and Temperature.
