Thermography interests • To save on the invoices of electricity by improving the output of the electric installations • To locate the energy losses • To avoid the stops of production, machine breakings • To eliminate the fire hazards • To decrease the insurance premium
Why thermography is it so useful ? 3 essential advantages: • Non-contact measurement • Method with two dimensions • Real time method
Why use thermography? • Better safe than sorry That should be our motto! • Infrared thermography: a powerful diagnostic tool for preventive maintenance Enables corrective action to be taken prior to costly breakdowns
Thermography application Electrical maintenance Mechanical maintenance Building thermics Industrialisation/manufacturing Research and Development
Thermography applications • Main use: electrical maintenance • Objective: Classification of faults in order of seriousness Necessary to assess • Recommandations
Electrical maintenance • Aim: highlight, in loaded electrical infrastructures, overheating due to: Poor connections Material deterioration Overloads Production stoppages Phase unbalance Operating losses Faulty contacts Fires …. ….
Electrical maintenance • Role of the camera: Provide decisive elements enabling: Identification of work to be undertaken Facilitate maintenance, save time and increase safety
Electrical maintenance • Methodology Scanning of the entire electrical installation when the elements are in normal load Spatially located anomalies, possible calculation of overheating Definition of extent of emergency and management of anomalies

Paper industry Industry: +120 °C to +900 °C With high temperature filters (optional) INDUSTRIALISATION / MANUFACTURING: Testing of instruments at end of chain, fast general checking, rejection of non-compliant assembly Endurance tests on « heating table », detection on-the-spot and over time of proper functioning of parts Endurance tests on « vibrating table », detection of faulty contacts, faulty joints, etc. Testing of industrial processes
Research/development • Scientists researching new methods for solving problems • Thermocouples: • Have to be in contact with the component measured • Effect on the results • Thermography: • Non-destructive analysis capacity • Detects very low differences in temperature, highlights thermal exchange phenomena • No contact method, highlights the problem
Heating of complex processors on printed circuits Heating at the base of a component Research/development Quality control during final phase of development Protection against short-circuits
