THERMOGRAPHY

What is Thermography (IR)?

Thermography is the acquisition and analysis using electronic optical devices to detect and measure radiation and determine surface temperature of an object.

THERMOGRAPHY All objects emit infrared energy Heat is a form of energy that is transferred by a

difference in temperature As the temperature of an object increases, the

infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted from that object increases

THERMOGRAPHY

CAN YOU THINK OF ONE PROCESS WHERE TEMPERATURE IS COMPLETELY UNIMPORTANT?

THERMOGRAPHY

TEMPERATURE Temperature is a key variable in virtually any

situation and for all processes! When your child is ill what is the first thing you

want to know? Many international airports use IR to scan

disembarking passengers for swine flu Does the temperature of your grilled chicken,

make a difference?

THERMOGRAPHYHISTORY OF INFRARED TECHNOLOGY

Sir William Herschel, a German astronomer, observed thermography in 1800. He passed the sunlight through a prism and discovered that the temperature increased beyond red light.

Sir John Herschel, son of William, was the first to produce an image called an evaporograph in 1840

The first American involved with the evolution of Thermography was Samuel Langley, an astronomer, who used a bolometer to detect heat from a cow over 1000 feet away in 1880.

THERMOGRAPHY

Thermography is useful because: It is real time

Thermography operates at the speed of light light can’t escape its own radiation

It’s non-contact, remote sensing The operator is out of danger The operator does not interfere with the target

It is two dimensional The operator can take many spot targets of an area to

determine the problem

It’s non-contact, remote sensingThe operator is out of danger

The operator does not interfere with the target

THERMOGRAPHY

PREDICTIVE & PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Significantly reduces unscheduled power outages Detect problems quickly without interrupting service Assess priorities for corrective action Minimize preventive maintenance and troubleshooting

time with predictive maintenance Comply with insurance company requirements Check for defective equipment while still under

manufacturer’s warranty Establish baseline for new tools
