In the power sector, DTS systems are essential for monitoring the temperature of critical equipment like power cables, transformers, and substations. By continuously measuring temperature along the cables or the components, DTS can detect overheating or potential faults before they lead to equipment failure or power outages or even fire.

Example: DTS technology is used to monitor the temperature of high-voltage cables in power grids and other substations. If a cable is overheating due to a fault, the DTS system will detect this and send an alert, allowing maintenance teams to address the issue before a failure occurs.

• Fire

DTS systems are invaluable in fire detection and prevention, particularly in large-scale facilities or areas with high fire risk. By monitoring temperature fluctuations, DTS can detect unusual heat patterns that might indicate a fire or overheating equipment, allowing for early intervention.

Example: In industrial plants, DTS is used to detect the temperature rise in areas prone to fire hazards, such as fuel storage rooms or electrical panels, power cable trays, cable cellar. An early warning system is triggered when temperatures exceed safe limits, enabling swift action to prevent a fire. Linear Heat Detection is also used to monitor heat in road tunnel, rail tunnel conveyor belts and areas where heat monitoring is a crucial requirement.

• Pipeline

DTS systems are widely used to monitor the temperature along pipelines, especially in oil and gas industries. By detecting temperature changes, DTS helps identify leaks, blockages, or unauthorized activity that could affect the pipelineā€™s integrity.

Example: DTS technology is applied to monitor the temperature of oil pipelines. A sudden drop or rise in temperature can indicate a leak or rupture in the pipeline, allowing operators to locate and fix the issue promptly to prevent further damage or environmental hazards.
