A Real-Time Monitoring System for Boiler Tube Leakage Detection

In this paper, we propose a network-based boiler tube monitoring system that acquires raw data from multiple acoustic emission (AE) sensors. It can diagnose and monitor the status of boiler tubes in real time. Such a system can help prevent sudden breakdown of boiler tubes installed in thermal power plants. These measures, using the proposed network-based boiler tube monitoring system, can increase the productivity and security of power plants.
