Sample Infrared Images Many people when commissioning a Thermal Infrared Inspection are not sure of what to expect, we hope this short presentation will give you an idea of what we will provide The following slides will indicate the sort of images you will be provided with on one of our Thermal Inspection Reports

Sample Infrared Images Infrared Thermal Camera "sees" On the following slides you will "SEE" what the Infrared Thermal Camera "sees" To understand the following Infrared Thermal Images we have included (where possible) a Visible Image of what you would normally see. These images were taken at the same time as the Infrared Image by a 'normal' camera that is built into the Thermal Camera. (Where visible light is not present we may substitute a flash or daylight photograph for identification)

Sample Infrared Images The Thermal Images are coloured; White and Yellow being the warmest Areas Blues to Black being the coldest Areas of the Thermal Image

Sample Infrared Images 1. Missing Insulation Detection Benefits Reduces energy usage & saves money for the occupier Non Invasive, no contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoints areas of missing insulation for fast rectification Source water leaks that could be effecting the insulation Preventative & predictive maintenance All Moisture detected is confirmed with moisture meter (above 18%) Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images 2. Moisture & Leak Detection Benefits - (Exterior) & (Interior) No contact with target required Quickly identify problems Pinpoint area for fast rectification Track & trace water leaks to source P & P maintenance All moisture detected confirmed with moisture meter (18%+) Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Detect mould growth that effects human health Detect leaky homes Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images 3.Electrical Fault Detection Benefits Can be used on all types of electrical distribution systems Testing is conducted under full load No contact with target is required Quickly identifies loose connections, uneven loads, overloads, open circuits, inductive heating, switchgear & More Pinpoint areas for fast rectification Track & trace wiring to fault P & P Maintenance Excellent tool for home & Manufacturing plant electrical Save time with no downtime required - no shut down required! Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images 4. Mechanical Fault Detection Forces such as friction, misalignment. improper lubrication or improper belt tension cause excessive heating! Benefits Can be used on all types of mechanical systems. Testing is conducted under full load No contact with target required Quickly identifies misalignment of coupled equipment, over/under lubrication of bearings, over/under tension of belted systems, excessive friction, defective equipment. Pinpoint hot areas for fast rectification Can be performed remotely P & P Maintenance Excellent tool for manufacturing plant inspections Simple, save time and no shut down required Includes full written report with photos Loose bolt on pipe flange

Sample Infrared Images 5. Faulty Underfloor Heating Detection Once pipes or cables are covered by flooring it is quick & easy for our Infrared Thermal camera to "see" where faulty heating circuits are buried in the floor. Benefits No Need to lift entire floor No contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint heating faults for fast rectification Can "see" where faults in the underfloor heating system are Locate underfloor pipes before drilling into floor! P & P Maintenance Non invasive Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Find heating inconsistencies in flooring Includes full written report with photos Once covered you need a Infrared Thermal Camera to "SEE" where these heating cables are located or to establish which circuit is faulty

Sample Infrared Images 6.a. Find the Source of Energy Leaks - DRAUGHTS - Air Leakage This dotted line is where air is leaking between door frame & plastic reveal - NOT the gasket seal on the door itself! Draughts can quickly increase your home heating costs while rapidly cooling your home, leaving you feeling uncomfortable and poor! Cold air circulating behind walls & ceilings can rob the home of expensive heat by cooling the walls & ceilings By combining our blower door survey we can find the source of these draughts Benefits No Contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint draught faults for fast rectification Pinpoint areas where cold air is circulating behind the building structure Can "see" where cold areas are in the home non invasive P&P Maintenance Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos Air leaking into room via cable hole behind the ceiling rose

Sample Infrared Images 6.b. Find the Source of Energy Leaks - DRAUGHTS - Air Leakage Floor covering lifting due to air pressure from underneath. Note gaps in floor board showing cooling of floor covering Sp3 Draughts can quickly increase your home heating costs while rapidly cooling your home, leaving you feeling uncomfortable and poor! Cold air circulating behind walls & ceilings can rob the home of expensive heat by cooling the walls & ceilings By combining our blower door survey we can find the source of these draughts Benefits No Contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint draught faults for fast rectification Pinpoint areas where cold air is circulating behind the building structure Can "see" where cold areas are in the home non invasive P&P Maintenance Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos No draught seal on hatch allows air to leak into hall from cold attic. Also allows warm air to leak up into loft space.

Sample Infrared Images 6.c. Find the Source of Energy Leaks - DRAUGHTS - Air Leakage Draughts can quickly increase your home heating costs while rapidly cooling your home, leaving you feeling uncomfortable and poor! Cold air circulating behind walls & ceilings can rob the home of expensive heat by cooling the walls & ceilings By combining our blower door survey we can find the source of these draughts Benefits No Contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint draught faults for fast rectification Pinpoint areas where cold air is circulating behind the building structure Can "see" where cold areas are in the home non invasive P&P Maintenance Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images 6.d. Find the Source of Energy Leaks - Thermal Bridges, Missing or Poor Insulation Missing Insulation or Thermal Bridges can increase your home heating costs while cooling your home, leaving you feeling uncomfortable and poor! Cold air circulating behind walls & ceilings can rob the home of expensive heat by cooling the walls & ceilings By using our Infrared thermal camera we can quickly find these heat energy loses. Benefits No Contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint draught faults for fast rectification Pinpoint areas where cold air is circulating behind the building structure Can "see" where cold areas are in the home non invasive P&P Maintenance Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images 7. Check Flat Roof Leakage We can detect where water is penetrating the flat roof of a building, so repairs can be made quickly before major damage is caused to the roof structure & insulation. Benefits No Contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint water leakage faults for fast rectification Pinpoint areas where cold air is circulating behind the building structure Can "see" where moisture laden areas are in the roof Non invasive P&P Maintenance Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images 8. Check Buildings for DAMP Areas Buildings can take some time to fully dry-out after being flooded. We can 'see' areas where moisture is still held within the structure, so you can pinpoint the areas where dryers need to be concentrated. Benefits No Contact with target required Quickly identifies problem Pinpoint damp areas for fast rectification Can "see" where moisture are in the building Non invasive P&P Maintenance Excellent tool for pre-purchase inspections Includes full written report with photos

Sample Infrared Images A Thermal Infrared Inspection is a The "faults" or 'anomalies' on the previous pages were all found within 30 minutes of arriving on site! A Thermal Infrared Inspection is a   QUICK EFFICENT COST EFFECTIVE method of finding faults that would otherwise go unnoticed until they become a MAJOR problem.
