Not just for Buildings: Thermal Imaging can Detect Issues in Machinery
Thermal imaging is a perfect service for electrical panels, data centers, electrical control rooms and server rooms. In fact, it can be applied practically anywhere, and adds extra safety to any controlled inspection.
Scouring the web, I recently came across an insightful blog post over at Pandct.com talking about how thermal imaging has become the industry standard method of spotting electrical faults in fully energized systems. This makes sense: Thermal imaging cameras are incredibly sensitive to any form of heat, and are able to detect asymmetrical loads and aid in the management of thermal inspections of electrical equipment. From this, their widespread adoption is not entirely surprising.
Fluke have a fantastic PDF guide on solving electrical problems with thermal imaging. In it, they go through a checklist of things you need to do in order to carry out a safe inspection of electrical equipment. Of course, they note that it is always best to get a qualified technician to carry out work, however it is a good guide none the less offering up an insight in to the world of the professional thermal imager.
Moving back on topic, and thermal imaging really can be applied anywhere. Are you a business looking for ways to save money on energy bills? Have a thermal imaging expert assess your premises. Concerned about heat within a room full of electrical equipment? Thermal imaging can help.
