Seeing the invisible world

People have compared using Infrared Thermography to having superpowers.  Enabling us to see the invisible world all around us.  At a glance qualitative asessments can be completed and either dismissed, or flagged for further quantitative investigation.  Sometimes the anomalies observed are, in fact, a normal condition of operation.  Others could be an indication of major problems or design weaknesses.

Below is panel observed daily with no issues noted or problems observed.  Once Infrared Imaging is utilized to observe, an anomaly presents.  Now the question is raised, is this a normal condition of the equipment?  Or can a definative conclusion be made at all with the data available?

What IR can see

No attempt was made to adjust for Reflected Apparent Temp, or Emissivity in the photos.  This is purely what a very quick scan of the panel yielded.   Further investigation with current measurement will be carried out to verify the integrity of the system.

Advanced Energy Solutions

The Site has finally been activated.  First a little background; Advanced Energy Solutions is based in Goderich Ontario Canada. 

Advanced Energy Solutions provides professionial Thermography (Infared Imaging). The images capture what human eyes cannot see. No other method of non-destructive testing reveals what Thermography can.

Advanced Energy Solutions uses world-class FLIR infared imaging equipment.

The services most commonly provided are:

1. Home imaging- Energy Loss, Electrical components, Water intrusion, mould, general air movement etc.

2. Industrial imaging- Heat Loss, electrical imaging (too vast to list), motors, gearboxes etc.

The services provided by a thermographer extend far beyond the above as well;

- Imaging of Hydro transmission lines and substations

- Imaging of pets, farm animals etc provide locations of temperature anomolies indicating a problem

- Pest control (animals cannot hide from infared)

- Lost pet location

- Custom IR inspections

- Anything else you can think of...



Update see my new post on the equipment;  FLIR i7 used by Advanced Energy Solutions.
