What can a thermal imaging camera detect?

Thermal imaging camera, also known as infrared thermal imager, is a use of infrared thermal imaging technology, through the subject of infrared radiation detection, and signal processing, photoelectric conversion

 and other means, the subject of the temperature distribution of the

Image into a visual image of the equipment. It can detect a wide range of content, specific as follows:

First, the military field

Thermal imaging camera began to originate in the military, can be implemented outside the range of the enemy's defence weapons to observe, strong detection capabilities, the role of a long distance. Example:

Handheld and mounted on light weapons on the thermal imaging camera allows users to see more than 800m of the human body, aiming to shoot the role of the distance of 2 ~ 3km.

On a ship to observe the water up to 10km.

In 15km high helicopters can detect the activities of single soldiers on the ground.

In 20km high reconnaissance aircraft can be found on the ground crowd and driving vehicles, and can analyse changes in sea water temperature and detect underwater submarines and so on.

Second, civil and industrial fields

Over the years, thermal imaging cameras are constantly expanding to the civil and industrial fields, specifically available for:

Electrical equipment monitoring: e.g. unbalanced loads on generators and motors, high bearing temperatures, heating of carbon brushes, slip rings and collector rings, short-circuiting or 

open-circuiting of windings, blockage of cooling lines, overloading and overheating.

Transformer monitoring: e.g. overheating of bushings, overloading, loose joints, blocked cooling pipes, poor contact, unbalanced loads in three phases, etc.

Electrical device monitoring: such as poor contact, overload, loose joints, overheating, unbalanced loads and other hidden problems.

In addition, the thermal imaging camera in the security theft, roof leakage detection, environmental protection inspection, energy-saving detection, non-destructiv
