Cooled Optical Gas Imaging MWIR Camera Module for Visualizing Carbon Monoxide Leaks
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a common gas in high-temperature metallurgy, petroleum refining, and other industrial processes. It is colorless, odorless, easily diffused, and highly toxic. Traditional gas detection methods have large blind spots and high missed detection rates.
The LFM330Z7 thermal module can quickly scan wide areas, accurately locate leak sources from a distance, and provide clear imaging, helping inspection personnel efficiently identify hidden dangers and ensure operational safety.
Main Features
- High sensitivity & reliability
- High effective pixel rate
- Minor leaks are clearly visible
- Support gas enhanced HSM algorithm (for module)
- Easy integration with various interfaces and RAW/YUV image output

Industrial Applications
The LFM330Z7 cooled MWIR infrared camera core has been widely adopted in various industries where CO leaks are a persistent risk, revolutionizing safety monitoring practices:
- In the petrochemical industry, CO leaks often occur during processes such as hydrocarbon combustion, catalytic reforming, and gas storage.
- The metallurgical industry is another major application area. During steelmaking and non-ferrous metal smelting processes, incomplete combustion of fuels generates significant amounts of CO.
- In residential and commercial buildings, CO leaks from gas water heaters, furnaces, and boilers are a common household hazard.
- In scientific research and environmental monitoring, cooled MWIR cameras are used to study CO emission mechanisms and track atmospheric CO distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cryocooler used for?
Cryocoolers are machines that keep sensors extremely cold so that thermal images can be taken on long-term missions. In many high-end applications, the sensors that capture images require extremely low temperatures.
What are the main factors to measure the quality of Cryocooler?
Long battery life and reliable operation are main factors to measure the quality of a cryocooler. SensorMicro cryocooler has a wide operating temperature range and excellent reliability. Its MTTF (Mean Time to Failures) has reached to 10,000 hours, which meets 24*7 boot operation requirements.
What is MTTF?
MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) measures a part's reliability. It shows you how long on average a part lasts before it breaks and you have to replace it. On a basic level, it tells you about the quality of the parts you're buying. The longer they last, the more value you're getting from them.
