Thermography
Thermography is a none-contact/ none-evasive method of diagnosing and solving problems of all kinds. An infrared camera, in the hands of a certified thermographer, can show exactly where the problems are! A thermographic inspection makes it easy to locate problem areas. Diagnosing problems before they cause damage can save you or your company valuable downtime and money.
Home Inspections and Energy Audits using Thermography
Thermograhy is included in all our home inspections and energy audits at no extra charge! Really! We dare you to find an inspection service that offers this free service!
Inadequate insulation, moisture build-up that can indicate mold, building leaks, as well as substandard workmanship are costly to building owners. An infrared camera inspection can help too quickly see where energy efficiency should be updated or improved.
Poorly insulated and areas where heat loss occurs can be calculated to determine exactly how much money you are wasting.
Industrial/Commercial Applications Using Thermography
A thermal imaging camera is a very reliable, non- contact instrument which is able to visualize the heat distribution of entire surfaces of machinery, electrical systems, piping and building structures quickly and accurately. Routine thermographic inspections, performed by a certified thermographer, will contributed to substantial cost savings.
The use of thermography has already revolutionized preventative maintenance for all types of industries, and now you too can locally access this great diagnostic resource!
A thermographic inspection provides the maintenance expert with important information about the condition of the equipment. Inspections are not intrusive to the operation as they can be done with the production process in full operation. A proper thermographic inspection can help optimize your production process.
Here are just a few examples of where thermography is an asset:
Mechanical
Pumps: (i.e. overheating bearings, misalignment, poor lubrication, friction, vibration issues)
Gearboxes/reducers: (i.e. overheating bearings, misalignment, lubrication problems, friction, vibration issues, etc.)
Conveyor systems: (i.e. overheated bearings, friction)
Hydraulic and lubrication systems: (i.e. sticking servos and valves, valve restrictions, piping blockage/ flow problems, overheating/cooling problems etc.)
Process valves & piping: (i.e. blockage/low flow problems, valve restrictions, etc.)
Storage tanks: (i.e. blockage/low flow problems, faulty level indicators, poor of deteriorating welds, etc.)
Pipelines: (i.e. blockage/low flow problems, etc.)
Electrical
Motors: (i.e. overheating bearings, misalignment, overheated windings, improper connections, overloading, arcing)
Primary power sources: (i.e. outdoor high voltage switchyard, faulty switchgears)
(MCC) Motor control centers: (i.e. overheated connections, faulty switches, fuse problems, overloaded electrical cables, etc. )
Transformers: (i.e. overheated connections, oil levels/leaks, etc.)
Low voltage installations: (i.e. faulty breakers/panels, overloaded circuits, faulty electrical outlets/wall sockets, etc.)
Building Diagnostics
Building structure: (i.e. poor/missing insulation, moisture/mold, sources of heat loss, cracked foundations
Roofs: (i.e. entrapped moisture, damaged insulation, heat loss, etc.)
Thermographic inspections can reduce insurance costs and provide a safer work environment.
