Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging cameras are used for inspecting equipment and components as well as the complete electrical power supply system. 

An infrared image including accurate temperature data provides our technician with important information about the condition of the inspected object.

Electrical Equipment
Some examples of electrical equipment where thermographs are used:

  • Primary power source i.e. outdoor high voltage switchyard
  • Switchgear
  • Transformers
  • Low voltage installations i.e. breaker panels, faulty electrical outlets/wall sockets
  • Fuse panels
  • Motor control centers (MCC)
  • Electrical cabinets

Mechanical Equipment

Some examples of mechanical equipment where thermographs are used:

  • Pumps (overheated connections, fuse problems, overloaded electrical cables etc)
  • Process valves (open, closed, leakage)
  • Storage tanks (sludge levels)
  • Pipelines (check if and where there are anomalies, for example locate build up of scale etc)
  • Motors (overheating bearings, misalignment, overheated windings)
  • Conveyor belts (overheated bearings)
  • Furnace inspections (with a special camera designed to “see through flames” for high temperature industrial furnace applications, ideal for monitoring all types of furnaces, heaters and boilers.)

To get even more out of your thermal imaging investment, you can use your infrared camera to audit energy efficiency of your plant environment, including roofing, heating and cooling systems, and building structures.
