IR thermography is very helpful to inspect diverse mechanical equipment as it shows clearly heat related failure mechanisms with thermal images during startup and cool down as well as during normal operation. Using easily deployable infrared cameras to prevent electrical and mechanical failures by carrying out traditional predictive maintenance with such equipment can minimize costs and enhance productivity by averting failures.

Application examples

• Observe combustion patterns of fuel
• Inspect boilers
• Detect thermal patterns on boiler tubes and measure tube skin temperature during
• Monitor normal operation or when boiler is on standby
• Scan and record temperatures in areas of boiler not monitored
• Scan the exterior of boiler for refectory damage or locate warmer areas where potential refectory damage may occur
• Detect coke buildup in crude furnaces
• Detect leak of flue gas of power plant boiler
• Detect mechanical bearing
• Evaluate heat ventilation/ air conditioning equipment
• Prevent cooling loss of cold storage
• Detect insulation leaks in refrigeration equipment
• Others
