IR camera application in control of the current state of an induction furnace in laboratory conditions

This paper presents the application of a thermal imaging camera (IR camera) in laboratory conditions in order to obtain data for current state of induction furnace. Therefore thermal imaging measurements were done inside the furnace as well as outside, on different areas to check heating and possible overheating of furnace's inner wall. In this manner, these data can help solving some problems in work and maintenance the furnace itself.
