For continuous conveyors in mines, ports, steelworks and cement plants. Sensing cable tracks temperature near idler bearings, drives and the belt to locate hot spots caused by friction or seizure. Follow hot-spot development, temperature profiles and control-room alarms to see how monitoring directs inspection and coordinated response.
DTS uses optical fiber as a continuous temperature sensor. Selected fire-suitable configurations up to 10 km and the fourth-generation 12 km configuration can apply the same sensing and installation principles to Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection (LHD); alarm zones, thresholds, response, fault monitoring and fire-system interfaces must meet applicable fire-alarm requirements. Existing 20/30 km long-range and oil/geothermal versions are not intended for this fire application.
