Most maintenance managers are well acquainted with the panic of handling a critical equipment failure and investigating potential causes after the fact. In many cases, the damage requires major repairs or the repurchase of expensive equipment. Thermal monitoring using semifixed, wireless infrared sensors allows end users to have a proactive rather than reactive response to potential breakdowns or problems that could lead to failures in other equipment down the line. Thermal monitoring with infrared sensors offers the ability to compare images of a process or asset throughout its duty cycle.
Thermal imaging
Thermal imaging captures infrared energy (otherwise known as ‘heat’) captured from objects. The heat signatures from an object and the quantity of radiation emitted tends to be proportional to the overall heat of the object.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has partnered with Fluke to provide a range of thermal imagers designed for everyday use in tough industrial settings.
Thermal imagers are used for troubleshooting motor problems. In industrial environments, the onset of motor failure can be detected using thermal imaging, thereby preventing system failures, reducing costs, and increasing uptime. It helps detect excessive heating, power quality issues, and misalignment in electrical systems that leads to electrical problems.
Heat is an early indication of the onset of equipment malfunction, thereby making it important to monitor in Preventive Maintenance programs. Thermal imagers help monitor motor conditions for preventive maintenance in power generation, manufacturing, and commercial plants.
It helps find leaks in sealed vessels, locate faulty insulation in process pipes, and identify overloaded circuit breakers and problems in electrical switch gear, among other applications. A recent application is in ‘Building Forensics investigations’ to detect moisture and building failures.
Thermal Imaging is a technology that is widely used due to its diverse applications. Due to technological advancements, both close range (within a few meters) and long range (within a few kms) thermal imaging are widely practiced.
A few unique, long-range applications include:
- Border security and surveillance: Help detect activities at night.
- Firefighting: Help identify if a fire is out or about to re-ignite.
- Disease control: Thermal scanners installed at airports can help detect passengers with elevated temperatures during pandemics.
- Detection of gas leaks: Thermal cameras help detect gas leaks in containers and pipelines.
Some close-range applications are:
- Maintenance of machinery: Thermal cameras help identify an overheated motor and prevent excessive damage.
- Inspecting electrical systems: This imager picks up on the heat created by friction and provide insight into the integrity of a machine.
- Research and development labs: These are very useful in research and development by engineers of electronic and mechanical products.
- Building inspection: Thermal imaging can help identify a multitude of problems like water leaks, electrical hazards, heat loss due to poor insulation, moisture prone areas, and pest infestations.
