Patent ID: 10724919

Abstract:
System and method of quantifying a gas leak in a specified field of view are disclosed. The system may comprise a cooled detector and two interchangeable band-pass non-cooled filters. A first non-cooled band-pass filter transmits electromagnetic radiation in a first spectral band that coincides with a non-transparent leaking gas spectral band. A second non-cooled band-pass filter transmits only electromagnetic radiation in a second spectral band which coincides with a transparent leaking gas spectral band. The system may comprise a quantification unit arranged to process the images generated by the cooled detector to thereby determine, based on the images thereof, a flowrate of the leaking gas in the specified field of view. The system may comprise a detection unit arranged to determine, based on alternately generated multiple first spectral band images and multiple second spectral band images, a gas leak in the specified field of view.
