Part of the challenge of building systems that withstand the rugged applications found in heavy industry is protecting the delicate optics and electronics of the thermal imaging camera from the elements. With that in mind, Ircon is offering the X2EEAP environmental enclosure and air purge accessory.
The device is a protective environmental enclosure designed specifically for the Ircon Maxline 2 thermal imaging camera. The enclosure is designed to keep the lens clean and keep the electronics cool. The air purge feature of the X2EEAP enclosure uses plant air to create a 'curtain' of flowing air that prevents dust and other outside debris from reaching the camera lens. This method eliminates the issue of the dirty window found on many aftermarket camera enclosures.
The cooling jacket uses circulating water to keep heat from penetrating beyond the outer jacket to the Maxline 2 camera electronics. The water cooling jacket can protect the Maxline 2 Thermal Imaging Camera from high ambient temperatures up to 180 ° C; much higher than typical aftermarket camera enclosures. All exposed portions of the Ircon environmental enclosure are either stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium to further protect the camera from corrosive atmospheres.
Along with the X2EEAP Environmental Enclosure, Ircon also offers the X2B blower and X2AHHD hose assembly. The X2B blower is suitable for remote applications where plant air is not available or not feasible to connect to. The X2AHHD is a complete flexible hose assembly (50 ft length) with all the necessary hardware to mate the blower to the enclosure.
Applications for the X2EEAP Environmental Enclosure include steel mills, foundries, glass plants, cement production, and other manufacturing processes where dust and high temperatures are prevalent.
