3. 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

4. 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)

5. 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

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

9. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
