Exiscan Closed Panel Inspection Windows

EDE has partnered with Exiscan™  to provide customers with the best infrared windows available. 

Why Infrared Windows?

• Risk Control: Opening an enclosure to perform periodic infrared scans increases risk of triggering an arc flash incident. Using inspection windows eliminates that high-risk task.

• Safety: Closed-panel IR, visual and ultrasound inspections are safer for personnel, plant assets and downstream processes.

• Standards Compliance: NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 prioritize “higher order controls” (like inspection windows) that proactively remove or reduce risk, over defaulting to PPE to protect against activities that are a known risk.

• Efficiency: Inspect more points in less time with fewer people. The closed-panel process is up to 95% more efficient than opening enclosures. Saving man-hours saves money.

• ROI: IR Inspection Windows typically pay for themselves within 1½ to three inspection cycles.

• Better Data: Inspect under high-load, more frequently, without background “noise” (from differential temperatures).

• Inspect the “Uninspectable:” How does your facility inspect equipment that is labeled “Dangerous” or is protected by switched interlocks? IR windows provide safe access for infrared scans of otherwise uninspectable assets. Don’t let critical assets go uninspected. 

IR Transmission & Accuracy:

• 57% Transmission: Exiscan™ IR windows feature advanced polymer optics capable of delivering accurate Delta T data.

• Stable: Optic is non-reactive with industrial environments, so transmission is stable for decades, for trendable data points.

• Better Data: Accuracy and longevity are two key benefits of Exiscan’s™ polymer optics over traditional crystals.
