THERMOGRAPHIC SURVEYSThe basis of infrared thermography is quite simple. All objects emit heat or infraredelectromagnetic energy, but only a very small portion of this energy is visible to oureyes. In order to see the heat being emitted, an infrared camera must be used. Thecamera detects the invisible thermal energy and converts it to a visible image, whichthen allows ERIKS’s thermographerto interpret the image.Obviously in order for an image tobe obtained access must be gainedto the surveying area, such as theopening of electrical controlcabinets. If problems occurobtaining such access then ERIKShas the solution Thermal ImagingWindows, which can be fitted tomost applications during a deadshiftand left in-situ for futuresurveys.The primary purpose for anERIKS’s Infrared ThermographicInspection Programme is to reducethe number of costly, unscheduled shutdowns that could occur, and to prevent damageby detecting equipment failure in its early stages. However, infrared thermography canalso enhance productivity and save money by locating areas of poor performance.
Benefits of having an inspection:• Locates problems quickly without interruptingservices or production• Reduces costly, unscheduled interruptions due topower outages• Aids maintenance staff• Extends the life of equipment by locatingproblematic components prior to catastrophicfailure• Checks equipment for problems before thewarranty has expired• Confirms that appropriate repairs have beencompletedNecessary replacement parts for repairs can beordered ahead of time, so interruptions are kept to aminimumAs the thermal imaging cameras are real timeproblems are found immediately and solutions areoffered, before the ERIKS engineer leaves site. A fullreport will then follow listing the areas surveyed and full colour thermograms and digitalphotographs of the faults found.Within the report you will find accurate plant locations and real engineeringrecommendations to eliminate the problem.
