Assessing Mechanical Systems
with Infrared Thermal Imaging
Infrared Thermal Imaging can be an invaluable resource in the assessment of your mechanical systems. Consider what the technology may uncover for you:
-
Heating in mechanical systems, most often due to frictional heating. (Assessment applications include bearing condition, steam leaks, tank level and location of piping)
-
The identification of failed conveyors bearings and components. (Imagine simply walking underneath a conveyor containing thousands of bearings and easily picking out the failures.)
-
Detection of failing bearings on large or difficult to reach locations not readily covered by vibration analysis.
-
Building envelope studies for heat loss, cold air infiltration and moisture migration including wet insulation and the presence of mold.
