thumb_walk-in-cooler.jpgEarly detection of the problem and to detect potential problem is the best way to prevent unscheduled shut down of plant operation. Some costly shut downs can be prevented by a simple tool; the thermal camera or infrared camera. As thermal camera prices dropping rapidly in the market, there is no reason why you won’t provide your team to make them more efficient. Imagine how much energy bills you wasted monthly due to poor insulation of your walk-in cooler for food storage (see figure to the right). Infrared camera will save you thousands of dollars by identifying the existing problem.

Who needs infrared camera?

Below will explain the pictures above according to order. This will give you a glimpse on how infrared cameras were used, and who needs it.
  1. The doctor sees a serious blood circulation problem in the hands of a patient with right hand at low temperature than the left.
  2. Catastrophic failure can be prevented by detecting early the degradation of metal in a furnace.
  3. A serious threat at the utility entrance of Heathrow airport with leaking pipeline buried below the concrete pavement.
  4. Power is not efficiently transmitted when connections are loosen or corroded and high resistance will develop. A power substation may shut down if problem remains undetected.
  5. A police officer caught the suspect by using infrared technology.
  6. Uniform temperature mix of asphalt ensures smooth pavement. Low temperature asphalt cures into lower density and will easily fail.

There are countless use of infrared technology, above are few of its applications. It is a powerful tool to diagnose problems hidden from human eyes. This tool is a must to professionals in the field of electricity, plant maintenance, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and defense and security.
