If we want to see what’s going on in other parts of the spectrum we need specialized equipment.Īll objects absorb, reflect and sometimes transmit energy at different levels. Visible light only takes up a small area in the electromagnetic spectrum and infrared radiation (IR) represents a larger percentage. It is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see. Visible light is what we see around us every day. Thermal imaging cameras take measuring temperature to the next level instead of getting a number for the temperature you get a picture showing the temperature differences of a surface. These images can be used for immediate diagnosis or processed through specialized software for further evaluation, accuracy and report output. Thermal imaging cameras are sophisticated devices that process the captured image and display it on a screen. The image produced is known as a thermogram and is analyzed through a process called thermography. His experience in the Energy Efficiency of buildings coupled with the latest thermal imagery equipment leaves him the perfect person to contact about all your heating problems.Thermal imaging cameras are devices that translate thermal energy (heat) into visible light in order to analyze a particular object or scene. Under floor heating companies quite often use our services to try and ascertain why a particular room within a property may not be heating properly, as well as to locate under floor pipe work.Īt NI Energy Services Fred Bolton has successfully accomplished the training and examination for Level 1 Infrared Thermography held by The Institute of Infrared Thermography. Now used more and more in the building industry, it is ideal at detecting damp, thermal bridging, heat loss and air leaks as well as poor insulation and inefficient heating systems. This usually means avoiding a breakdown and therefore unnecessary and expensive downtime, as a result. Mostly used in the electricity sector it can detect faulty connections, components and motors that may be running at a higher temperature than normal. Thermography is carried out with a thermal imaging camera and can highlight hot and cold spots within an image.
