The FlameMaster inspex imaging systems apply flame emission spectroscopy to combustion processes. The flame emission (chemiluminescence) of flame radicals like OH*, CH*, C2* is used to e.g. visualize the reaction zone or to monitor flame stoichiometry via emission ratios of such radicals. 2-color pyrometry (blackbody radiation) is used to measure temperature fields in sooty flames. FlameMaster inspex camera systems for combustion imaging flame structure, species, soot concetration (KL-factor) spectral imaging of flame emissions flame temperature pyrometry for sooty flames BOS for axisymmetric clean flames flame instabilities, burner vibration temporal flame analysis ignition, flame front propagation (flame speed) high speed imaging keyhole imaging in real combustors endoscopic imaging Flame emission imaging is a line-of-sight (integrating) diagnostic method like absorption. 2D flame species imaging is carried out with a set of filters mounted in front of the camera lens or 1D using an imaging spectrograph for correlated multi-species detection. Line-of-sight images of axisymmetric flames are transformed into 2D radial flame profiles applying Abel inversion. Temporal flame analysis (flame flicker) is measured using statistical information from a time series of flame images. High speed imaging is applied for flame propagation and extinction measurements. FlameMaster inspex systems can be upgraded for laser imaging in flames by adding a laser.
