A non-contact and non-invasive inspection technique often suited as part of a predictive maintenance program. Infrared radiations emitted by all objects can be detected using Thermographic cameras; the camera produces an image of that radiation which is then translated into thermal image with a known objects’ emissivity.
Applications include:
- Electrical and mechanical systems
- Photovoltaic systems
- Process systems
- Building envelopes
- Mechanical equipment faults
- Overheating bearings
- Lubrication issues
- Process faults
- Damaged refractory lining
- Loose electrical connection
- Overheated cables
- High voltage substation faults
- PV cell fault detection
- Blocked pipes
- Steam pipes and traps faults
- Insulation defects
- Building heat loss, water leakage, moisture, and insulation issues.
- Easy, fast and safe method of early fault detection
- Inspection of running equipment under full load
- Inspection of difficult to access live electrical equipment
- Reduction of maintenance and repair costs
- Increased equipment lifetime and mean time between failures (MTBF)
- Reduce unscheduled power outages
