The Hand-Held Hydrogen Fire Imager was developed to visually assess the presence, location and extent of invisible hydrogen flames. Detect smoldering embers and hot spots in a traditional fire. Remotely scan a scene and measure surface temperatures.
Entire instrument weighs five pounds.
Communicates with remote command and control centers. Designed for operation in Class I, Division II, Group B hazardous environments. The Technology Liquid hydrogen flames are virtually invisible in daylight because of the cryogenic's clean-burning chemical makeup. As NASA's lead center for rocket propulsion testing, Stennis operates numerous facilities where hydrogen fires pose a threat to worker and equipment safety. The Center needed a device that would safely indicate the exact location and extent of the invisible flames.
