Thermal imaging services — infrared cameras

 1. Why use thermal imaging services?

• Thermal imaging is an effective solution for the early detection of potential risks in industrial production systems.
• Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to record the surface temperature of the object being monitored, capture thermal patterns and identify temperature trends, helping trace heat sources and potential risks.
• Engineers use thermal imaging data to detect faults in electrical and mechanical systems at an early stage. Thermal images reveal the condition of plant equipment, enabling effective corrective and preventive measures.
• Most equipment faults tend to produce thermal signs. Monitoring and analyzing thermal data can help prevent failures at a very early stage.

2. Advantages of thermal imaging:

• - Fast, visual and clear.
• - Safe: thermal images can be captured from a safe distance while equipment is running.
• - Easy to carry out, without requiring special inspection conditions.
• - Broad applications: electrical systems, machinery, tanks, piping, buildings and more.
• - High economic value: helps avoid equipment damage, incidents and production stoppages while protecting facilities and people.

3. Applications in mechanical systems:

• AC/DC motors
• Pumps, fans and compressors
• Gearboxes, couplings, bearings and hydraulic systems
• Drives, conveyors and electrical connections

4. Applications in electrical systems:

• Unbalanced loads
• Harmonics, including third harmonics that cause current in the neutral conductor
• Overloaded systems and excessive current
• Loose or worn connections that increase circuit resistance
• Insulation failures and component faults
• Connection and wiring faults, and substandard components
• Imaging of electrical panels and substations

5. Equipment and locations for thermal imaging:

• Motor housings
• Power supply contacts for motors
• Electrical panels
• Air trap valves
