profiling of the temperature within the furnace in addition to characterization of the flames as well as burner balancing. This information in turn enables the furnace control (either... automatic or manual) to optimize the fuel consumed by each burner as well as operation at minimum temperature required. This optimization translates into reducing the fuel... to the camera readout thus providing real-time characterization of flames and their related burners and therefore providing real-time feedback to the furnace control system. The...
