When presented with a limited budget, it can be difficult to procure all the necessary assets to support your plant's operational needs as well as the equipment for monitoring your current assets. A good option to enable savings and provide more diverse equipment is to procure used instruments. Having more properly functioning equipment that is older is better than having a few new instruments.
Les systèmes de lubrification et systèmes hydrauliques sont d’excellent sujets pour les inspections thermographiques. Avec une caméra infrarouge, vous pourriez vérifier plusieurs problèmes potentiels, notamment avec :
Le chemin d’écoulement du fluide de lubrification
Les vannes soit peuvent fuir ou être mal installées et sont capables de laisser les fluides lubrifiants couler dans le sens contraire. Les conduites et la tuyauterie à haute température indiquent le débit des fluides.
Spiral Heating caused by broken or snipped conductors (above).
Resistance, opposition to current flow in a circuit. Connection anomalies pose resistance problems in our motor circuits and if they are not identified and corrected, they can have deleterious effects. Normal things that affect circuit resistance are:
Low “E” or “Emissivity” windows are becoming a norm for new construction homes and a high percentage of replacement window purchases. The increasing popularity of these windows comes as no surprise. They are very energy efficient, reflecting electromagnetic infrared radiation from within or from the outside of the insulated enclosure of the structure. They also minimize harmful UV that can fade and degrade the fabric of draperies and furniture.
When using IR to inspect electrical systems, it’s good to keep in mind that the faults we’re looking for aren’t always what’s hot. Sometimes it can be the components that appear cool that are the problem.
