• What is Thermal Imaging?

Thermal imaging is a sophisticated and non-invasive technique that uses infrared technology to detect heat emissions from various equipments. This process converts the infrared energy, which is invisible to the human eye, into a visible light display. The infrared (IR) energy, or thermal energy, is emitted by all objects above absolute zero temperature, and the variations in these emissions form the basis of thermal imaging.

• What is a Thermal Image?

A thermal image, or thermogram, is the visual output produced by thermal imaging processes. Thermal images are captured using a specialized device, often referred to as a thermal camera or infrared camera. A thermal image is distinctly different from a traditional photograph. While a conventional photograph captures visible light reflected from objects, a thermal image represents varying levels of infrared radiation emitted by the objects.

The interpretation of a thermal image is facilitated by a color palette, where each color represents a specific range of temperatures. For instance, shades of blue often indicate cooler temperatures, while shades of red signify hotter areas. Thus, a thermal image provides a detailed temperature map of the surveyed area, highlighting hotspots and potential anomalies that may need further investigation.

• What are the areas can cover with Thermal imagers?

• Overheating and circuit overload issues in electrical and mechanical systems.

• Building inefficiencies such as heat loss due to poor insulation, air leaks in HVAC systems, and water leaks within structures.

• Detection of pests or rodents within concealed areas and identification of trespassers in security applications.

• Human or animal presence in search and rescue operations and hot spot detection in forest fire management.

• Identification of structural defects in construction and engineering.

• Detection of health issues in medical and veterinary applications, and thermal pattern analysis in geological and environmental studies.
