Camera Furnace Jacket
A camera furnace jacket is a robust, protective enclosure that uses active cooling — typically circulating water or compressed air — to shield an industrial camera from the extreme temperatures inside a furnace, kiln, or boiler.
These systems allow operators to monitor internal processes in real-time in environments reaching up to 2000°C (3632°F), without damaging the delicate electronic components of the camera. Two primary types are available:
Water-Cooled Jackets: Most common for extreme high-temperature environments (up to 2000°C+). Use continuous water circulation through a double wall for superior heat dissipation.
Air-Cooled Jackets: Utilize high-volume compressed air via a vortex cooler; suitable for applications up to 400°C where a water supply is impractical.
