  • Application Note: Ensuring Safety and Preventing Fire with FLIR Thermal Monitoring for Battery Energy Storage Systems

    Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires. Traditional detection methods such as flame detectors often fail in the early stages of a BESS fire due to their reliance on visible flames or smoke, which might not be immediately present. Where flame detectors fall short, thermal imaging cameras can significantly improve protection and prevent fires before they ever reach combustion.

  • FLIR Unveils ADGiLE™ to Detect and Locate Methane Leaks with Robust Continuous Monitoring and Advanced Analytics

    FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today unveiled ADGiLE, a fixed-mounted methane monitoring solution. Featuring optical gas imaging (OGI) with comprehensive edge detection analytics, ADGiLE is the oil and gas industry’s solution to meeting environmental stewardship and efficiency goals. The system, featuring a pan-tilt gas imaging camera, edge computing device, connectivity, and FLIR United VMS software within a ruggedized package, can help companies address the ever-evolving requirements for reducing methane gas leaks within oil and gas production, transmission, and storage infrastructure.

  • The Benefits of Thermal Scans for Businesses and Large Real-Estate

    Infrared Imaging Solutions, better known as IRIS, is an inspection firm based in Canada that operates coast to coast across North America. The firm has a team of eight thermographers, all certified as Level II or Level III thermographers by the Infrared Training Center, who are equipped with FLIR T1020s, FLIR T865s, and various other FLIR thermal imaging cameras to perform inspections. Brian Jastrow, the company’s principal owner, shared with us some of the benefits of regular thermal inspections that he’s noticed from the seventeen thousand inspections his company has performed in over twenty years in operation.

  • FLIR Introduces Next Generation X-Series Infrared Cameras for the Most Demanding Indoor Lab and Open-Air Test Range Scenarios

    FLIR, a Teledyne Technologies company, today announced four new additions to its family of X-series science-grade thermal cameras for research and development (R&D) for both the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) spectrums: the X6980-HS high-speed family and the X8580-HS high-resolution family. 

  • How The FLIR Cx5 Fits Into Classified-Area Inspections

    Thermal inspections don’t always take place in the safest environments. At natural gas burning sites and gas liquification plants, the danger of sudden combustion is always looming, so maintaining worker safety is paramount. Potentially dangerous areas require specialized, classified area-rated equipment to prevent disaster: FLIR’s Cx5 Hazardous Location-Rated Thermal Camera is just the tool for the job.

  • Understanding OGI Detector Pixel Size

    Chief among specifications, in nearly all types of imaging, is resolution. However, in some optical gas imaging (OGI) applications, it is beneficial to opt for a lower resolution camera to achieve optimal performance. This article discusses why high resolution is not always king in OGI, notes scenarios in which higher resolution is desired, and introduces FLIR OGI solutions to meet any resolution needs your operation may experience.

  • Introducing the New GF77 Series

    The GF77 uncooled optical gas imaging camera is known for detecting methane. Now with new interchangeable lens options, this camera can detect SF6, ethylene, and ammonia—making it an ideal solution for electric power utilities, food and agriculture, chemical manufacturing facilities, and First Responders. This affordable solution not only locates gas leaks safely, it can also perform accurate thermal inspections.

  • See Smaller VOC Leaks From a Safer Distance

    FLIR optical gas imaging cameras allow smaller Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) leaks to be detected from a safe, non-hazardous area. The most important criteria to achieve this are the camera’s detector and sensitivity.

  • TrafiSense2 Support

    TrafiSense2 is an integrated thermal sensor and detector for vehicle, vulnerable road user, and wrong way driver detection. TrafiSense2 does not need light to operate, and instead uses the thermal energy emitted from road users. This enables the sensor to detect vehicles and vulnerable road users at night, over long distances, and in harsh weather conditions. With available 640x480 resolution, the TrafiSense2 offers 24/7 traffic detection for a wide range of applications.
