Inspeca
offers you the customer the best
in "Thermal Imaging Inspections" offered by
no one else in the field of home inspections. With this service
you are able to get a clear image of what is hidden beneath every
surface not viewed because of it was either dry-walled over or
finished paneling. The thermal imagery has amazing capabilities
and can "see" through certain materials.
1). Energy audits
2). Mold and insulation surveys
3). Electrical and mechanical analysis
4). Roofing and building envelopes
5). Research and development
Some reasons to ask for this
service are the following:
- Heat loss around windows, doors,
skylights, electrical outlets.
- Moisture infiltration behind
walls or ceilings. Moisture damage like this can lead to mold
conditions if not detected in time and properly fixed.
- Lack of or no insulation in
walls or ceilings.
- To recognize hot or cold spots
on the exterior or interior of any buildings.
- Energy audit infrared inspection
- Many roofs need to be replaced
prematurely due to moisture damage from leaks and improper installation.
Infrared thermography has a proven track record in finding damaged
portions of roofing structure so they can be repaired before
water damage rots your whole roof. Thermography is a non-contact
testing method, don't let anyone drill holes in your roof to
test for damage.
General Industrial
Electronic Applications
Thermal imaging of integrated circuitry and microelectronics
provides a detailed and comprehensive mapping of the temperature
field showing the current and voltage borne by the components.
Process Applications
Thermal imaging is an efficient means of monitoring flow in process
applications. Early detection of leaks or equipment corrosion
can prevent gas leaks, fire and even explosions. Many process
application inspections are conducted in hostile environments,
where the target and ambient temperatures are high. Thermal Imaging
can be used at a distance so problems can be detected in even
the most adverse situations.
Building
Applications
It can be difficult to diagnose and solve building problems such
as heat preservation, humidity/moisture invasion, roof moisture
damage, poor air conditioning system performance, structural
damage and mold detection. Thermal Imaging is a valuable tool
for these applications, enabling the building owner, architect
and contractor to verify the building's performance, find potential
problems and seek effective solutions.
Transportation
Applications
Thermal imaging is used in the transportation industry for the
diagnosis of engine problems, brake systems, air conditioning
systems, sealing, defrosting window wires and exhaust systems.
Predictive/Preventive Maintenance
General Predictive/Preventive
Maintenance Applications
Thermal imaging can be used for troubleshooting, preventive maintenance
and predictive maintenance of the many electrical and mechanical
devices used in buildings and factories such as switches, outlets,
connectors, fuses and motors.
The benefits of Thermal Imaging
are:
inspections are fast and easy
there is no need to shut off equipment during the inspection
(in fact, the equipment must be running in order to "see"
any thermal signatures of potential problems
inspections are safe, given the non-contact nature of infrared
Electric
Power Applications
Thermography has been used in the power industry for many years
to safely detect defects in electrical equipment. Electrical
energy generates heat as it moves through materials. The higher
the resistance of a material (or a connection), the more heat
that is generated by the electrical energy. This simple concept
explains why thermal imaging plays such a critical role in finding
and treating equipment failures and also improving the safety
of electrical workers.
Petrochemical
Applications
In petrochemical plants there are many pipes carrying steam,
hot water and various industrial chemical solutions. These pipes
can become damaged, corroded or worn. The Ti30 enables the user
to identify hot spots, monitor energy waste and ensure correct
temperatures. It can also help the user find leaks that may not
be visible to the human eye.
Tank
and Vessel Applications
Thermal imaging plays a very crucial and effective role in finding
possible failure points in vessels and containers, often preventing
serious accidents from occurring. Equipment defects or load shifting
can quickly and easily be detected with the Thermal Imaging.
Building
Diagnostics Applications
The primary diagnostic procedure for determining the thermal
performance of a building envelope is infrared thermography.
It can be used to identify heating and cooling loss due to poor
construction, missing or inadequate insulation and moisture intrusion.
Correcting the defects plays a significant role in increasing
building efficiency and structural integrity. Thermography can
identify surface temperature variations of the building envelope,
which relates to problems in the structure, thermal bridging,
moisture content and air leakage.
Common building diagnostics
applications are:
Roofing surveys
Energy audits
Moisture/restoration
Mold remediation
Building energy
Home inspection
Two primary mechanisms for heat
loss in buildings are conduction through the walls and air leakage.
Both can be identified from the surface of the building with
infrared thermography. Early correction of the faults identified
can be made before extensive damage occurs. |
