Thermal Imaging is a method of producing visual images from invisible thermal radiation. Its role as a maintenance aid is becoming increasingly more important and
accepted. It provides an instantaneous means of identifying problem areas and can locate faults that more conventional maintenance methods are unable to do.
In an industrial context, Thermal
Imaging provides a quick and efficient method of finding electrical and mechanical components that are operating above their correct temperature. This is often an indication of an area of potential costly failure that Thermal
Imaging can identify, giving it a powerful preventative maintenance capability. A distinct advantage of this non-contact technique is that SURVEYS ARE CARRIED OUT UNDER NORMAL WORKING
CONDITIONS, which therefore involves minimal interference with plant operation.
Energy costs in the UK are high and it is an important cost in any business and Thermal Imaging can help
reduce these costs by detecting areas of poor insulation. By rectifying these problems, which in many cases is simply and cheaply done, considerable savings can be made on fuel bills. With the new protocols on climate change,
reduction in unneccessary heat loss through poor building practices is becoming a major issue.
INFRA RED
Any object above absolute zero will emit infrared radiation, which is similar to
visible light, but at a frequency to low to be seen by the naked eye. "State of the Art" Thermal Imaging cameras convert this infrared radiation in to electrical
signals that can be displayed visually on a screen and recorded. The Physics of Radiation is well understood and the important feature in terms of Thermal Surveys
is that, before a piece of equipment looks hot to the naked eye, it will often be damaged beyond repair.
The camera has a temperature range of -10 to 700C and is completely portable,
making it suitable for most industrial applications.
