Thermal Imaging

Key Aspects of Thermal Imaging:

Operating Principle:

Thermal imaging cameras capture infrared radiation emitted by any object whose temperature is above absolute zero (-273.15°C). The warmer the object, the more infrared radiation it emits. Specialized sensors convert the collected data into an image, where warmer areas are usually marked in red or white, and cooler areas in blue or violet.

Applications:

Building Diagnostics: Thermal imaging is widely used to identify heat loss, thermal insulation issues, thermal bridges in buildings, or leaks.
Electrical Equipment Inspection: This technology allows for the detection of overheating spots in electrical equipment, wire damages, and failures in motors and transformers.
Mechanical Equipment: Thermal imaging is used to inspect mechanical devices such as motors, bearings, or heat exchangers to identify overheating areas.
Medicine: Thermal imaging is used to capture body temperature and detect inflammation or blood circulation disorders.
Security and Military Operations: Thermal images help detect individuals or objects in low light conditions or poor visibility.
Advantages:

Non-invasiveness: This technology allows for problem detection without dismantling objects or interfering with their structure.
Efficiency: Thermal imaging enables quick diagnosis of heat loss or equipment failures, saving time and costs needed for repairs.
Wide Application: Thermal imaging can be used in construction, medicine, industry, and security sectors.
Examples of Thermal Imaging Use:

Construction and Energy: Detecting thermal bridges, building airtightness deficiencies, cold spots, and improperly insulated areas.
Electrical Network Maintenance: Identifying overheating electrical circuits, wires, or transformers, thermal imaging helps prevent accidents.
Medical Diagnostics: Identifying inflammation or circulatory disorder areas indicated by elevated body temperature.
Thermal imaging is an integral technology in modern diagnostics as it helps visually identify problems that may be invisible to the naked eye.
