Thermal Imaging Services
What is Infrared Scanning
Infrared scanning identifies the transfer of infrared heat radiation from an object. It provides the means to scan the thermal emissions of various surfaces and display an image of temperature distribution. This reveals possible problem areas that may need to be dealt with to improve the safety and efficiency of machinery, building structures or electrical apparatus.
Applications
- Electrical equipment: poor connections or contacts, overloading, unbalanced loads.
- Mechanicals equipment: conveying systems, bearings and seals, drive belts, drive trains, turbo equipment, coupling problems, open gear integrity, crushers, screens and pumps.
- Process equipment: location of solid, liquid and gas levels in tanks and vessels, scale build-up and blockages in pipelines, defective valves, hot/cold air leaks.
- Boilers/steam systems refractory/insulation breakdown.
Features and Benefits
Regular thermal imaging can detect potentially serious faults in electrical and mechanical equipment before they develop. Early detection and scheduling of remedial action have obvious benefits where interruption of supply is of a critical nature.
The operation of the thermographic equipment will not interfere with a company's normal day to day running, as the technique is non-invasive and non-destructive.
Cost savings- Early detection of potential faults
- Assurance of supply
- Building hazard reduction
- Non destructive
- No down time
- Insurance premium rebates
