Acoustic imaging range expanded with two new camera models for partial discharge and air leak detection
Teledyne FLIR has expanded its acoustic imaging category with two additional models of the FLIR Si124 Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera: The Si124-LD, specific for compressed air leak detection, and the Si124-PD, for partial discharge detection within high voltage electrical systems. This expansion provides additional, tailored solutions for different end-users needs, from utility infrastructure to plant environments, at a fraction of the cost.
The FLIR Si124-PD and Si124-LD devices also include easy-to-use onboard analytics with access to an online portal through the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. This software empowers users to perform both quick diagnostics tasks and conduct deeper analysis. With this data, Si124-PD users can determine the severity of partial discharge issues in high voltage equipment, improving electrical grid reliability. Likewise, the Si124-LD model helps users determine the severity of compressed air leaks, potentially saving tens of thousands of dollars in energy costs.
“The FLIR Si124 acoustic imaging family of cameras provides for more precise issue detection by offering an unrivalled number of integrated microphones with improved microphone signal-to-noise ratio as well as a top detection frequency of 35 kHz to help users further pinpoint problem areas,” said Rob Milner, Global Business Development Manager – Condition Monitoring, Teledyne FLIR. “The Si124-PD and LD editions features the same robust artificial intelligence software capabilities of the Si124, but are customised to provide a more economical option for particular uses, such as locating corona at a utility substation or compressed air leaks in a factory setting. Taken together, the family of Si124 devices can help reduce inspection times up to 10x versus traditional methods.”
The new Si124-PD features automatic electrical fault classification for partial discharge issues, including surface, discharge, floating discharge, and discharge into air. With the PD Severity Assessment software feature, users can also input the kind of component, the equipment voltage, and the distance from the component to get a severity assessment specific to those parameters. This feature is included within the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud software.
Furthermore, users can safely detect problems from distances up to 130 meters (430 feet) with the flexibility to operate the device with one hand. Operators can also easily review images on-screen, even in bright, outdoor conditions.
The Si124-LD features real-time, on-device leak sizing and cost analytics, allowing users to instantly view the leak rate onscreen as it occurs, either in liters per minute (l/min) or cubic feet per minute (CFM), and to quantify leak size. This feature provides a quick assessment of how much air is being lost and estimated cost savings from fixing the issue. By incorporating the Si124-LD as part of a regular maintenance program, organisations can extend the life and efficiency of existing compressors while reducing the need to install 1/2 new units and lowering electricity costs.

Metering grease lubrication flow in a wind turbine
Titan Enterprises’ Oval Gear OG2-700 flowmeter, a well-established monitoring device used in hundreds of wind turbine installations, provides valuable data to ensure safe and reliable operation. One of the fundamental requirements of ensuring reliable and efficient wind turbine operation is to keep the heavily loaded main bearings fully lubricated in all operating conditions. Fully IP67 / NEMA 4 compliant, the OG2-700 flowmeter is optimised for measuring the flow of lubricating viscous liquids. Designed to operate at pressures of up to 700 bar and temperatures up to 150°C, and with a
standard flow range of 0.03 to 4.0 litres/min on 30Cstk oil, the OG2-700 flow meter can routinely achieve outstanding accuracy (0.5%) and repeatability (0.1%).

A new revolution in pressure testing and calibration
email: For More Info, email: email:
The Ralston Instruments FieldLab is a revolutionary pressure device for testing and calibration. Tests can be created for datalogging, pressure calibration, pressure safety valve testing and hydrostatic testing. Create a test on a PC using the included FieldLab Desktop software and put it to one or more FieldLabs or run the test from a PC. On- screen prompts lead the user through a test and tell them right on the FieldLab whether the device under test is out of tolerance. Easily download data onto a PC for for creating calibration certificates. With pressure ranges from 30 psi to 10,000 psi (2 to 700 bar), certified for Class I Div 1 and ATEX / IECEx Zone 0 Hazardous locations, measurement uncertainty of 0.1% of reading, temperature compensated, lithium-ion rechargeable battery and a color screen the FieldLab Pressure makes an indispensable addition to any pressure test or calibration kit.

New emission monitoring solution helps the maritime industry achieve decarbonisation targets
The launch of ABB’s CEMcaptain will help shipping comply with the sulphur emission regulations that were enforced in 2020, and keep in check their CO2
footprint.
In January 2020, the low sulphur and nitrous oxide emission limits in the International Maritime Organization regulations became effective worldwide. CEMcaptain is a powerful emissions monitoring system from ABB designed to help the maritime industry meet these new regulations and become more sustainable. Its measurement and digital capabilities increase on-board safety, provide process optimisation and substantially reduce ownership costs. By consistently achieving 98 percent and more uptime, the new system not only requires less maintenance effort but also saves time otherwise spent on handling non-compliance issues.
Designed with busy mariners and a regularly changing crew in mind, CEMcaptain is a multi- component analyser system that continuously provides real-time data offering reliable measurement of emissions with the highest stability. Operating in even the harshest of conditions it integrates analyzer modules and sample handling components in a standalone cabinet, making installation easy.
Equipped with ABB’s renowned Uras26 non-dispersive IR gas analyser, CEMcaptain simultaneously and continuously measures sulphur dioxide (SO2
) and carbon dioxide (CO2
requirements. Each analyser has two separate gas paths to allow for continuous CO2 measurement of separate streams, with up to four different components per analyser module.
) in line with regulation /SO2
“Our solutions are driving the evolution of sustainable shipping, paving the way to a zero- emission marine industry. ABB has more than 60,000 Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) installed in over 100 countries that help monitor our environment,” said Stephen Gibbons, ABB’s Head of Product Management in Continuous Gas Analysers. “We draw on 60 years of experience in emissions monitoring to provide this support in concrete terms. CEMcaptain has been combined with innovations in on-site and remote digital services. The result is a solution that provides the industry with a digital toolbox that increases regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.”
Fast fault reporting, diagnosis and repair are achieved via the on-site and remote digital services which help operators get closer to 100 percent availability for their gas analysis instrumentation. Dynamic QR codes are integrated into the ABB CEMcaptain system display panel. All relevant diagnostic information can be collected from the analyser via a scanned code and transferred to ABB support. This means that maritime instrumentation technicians can send real-time information to an ABB service expert to get immediate guidance on appropriate maintenance. ABB Ability™ Remote Assistance with secured connectivity direct to ABB support is also offered for real-time solutions to problems. These features reduce the costly training of changing crews as well as the number of experts required on board. They also increase on-board safety by reducing crew exposure to emissions.
CEMcaptain GAA610-M is approved by all major classification societies (DNV GL, ABS Group, Lloyds Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, Korean Register).
