E3 DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing)
- How can we safeguard critical infrastructure against thermal risks and enable early fire hazard detection?
- The E3 DTS uses Raman Scattering and Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) to turn the entire optical fiber into a continuous temperature sensor, enabling long-distance, high-precision (±0.5m), and real-time localized temperature monitoring (±0.5°) along the fiber.
- With multi-level temperature alerts, intrinsic safety, and strong electromagnetic immunity, the E3 provides reliable, end-to-end thermal protection for high-risk applications like petrochemical plants, power storage, and transportation tunnels.
Customer Reviews
- The Gato E3 DTS was deployed in a critical power cable tunnel for continuous temperature monitoring and early fire warning.
Real-time Monitoring
Proactive Safety Alerts
Operational Continuity
- The E3 system provides real-time, meter-level temperature monitoring along the tunnel, detecting localized overheating points in cable joints, which cannot be detected by traditional point sensors. It triggers early alarms for preventive maintenance, preventing electrical fires and equipment damage, ensuring continuous operation and safety.
- The client was highly satisfied with the system’s precision, reliability, and the proactive safety management it enabled. They confirmed the E3 system has become an integral part of their facility’s risk prevention strategy.
Customer Case
- Fiber-optic DTS enables continuous, precise temperature monitoring and early fire risk prevention across tunnels, pipelines, tanks, warehouses, and data centers.
Electric Power Tunnel Monitoring
Power tunnels face monitoring challenges and localized overheating risks, where aging insulation or loose connections cause cable fires & outages.
Electric Power Tunnel Monitoring
The E3 DTS system continuously monitors tunnel temperatures, detects hotspots with ±1 m accuracy, and enables early intervention through multi-level alerts and ventilation integration.
Heat Pipeline Leak Detection
Heat pipelines span long distances, making temperature monitoring difficult, while corrosion or weld leaks cause energy loss and safety risks.
Heat Pipeline Leak Detection
The E3 system provides real-time pipeline temperature monitoring, pinpoints leaks within ±2 m, and automatically triggers maintenance alerts to accelerate repair response.
Oil & Gas Storage Tank Safety
Storage tanks are located in hazardous areas where electrical sensors pose ignition risks, including external fires, lightning strikes & internal overheating.
Oil & Gas Storage Tank Safety
The E3 system uses intrinsically safe fiber sensing to monitor tank surface temperatures, deliver accurate data to fire prevention systems, and provide early warnings of abnormal heat conditions.
Warehouse Temperature Safety
Warehouses storing grain, textiles, or alcohol face stacked storage and poor ventilation, increasing spontaneous combustion and vapor ignition risks.
Warehouse Temperature Safety
The E3 system installs sensing cables on racks and ceilings to continuously monitor temperature, detect abnormal heating, and issue early alerts to prevent fires.
Data Center Thermal Safety
High-density server racks in data centers can develop localized overheating from poor cooling or failures, risking equipment damage and disruption.
Data Center Thermal Safety
The E3 system monitors temperatures along server rows, detects cooling issues, and delivers real-time data to optimize safety, cooling performance, and energy efficiency.
