Thermal Imaging Cameras

As we venture into the damp and unpredictable autumn-winter season here in the UK, moisture management in construction becomes all the more crucial. For construction professionals, the ability to identify and manage moisture and dampness issues is paramount. These silent adversaries can undermine structural integrity, lead to mould infestations, and result in costly post-construction repairs. In this article, we look at the essential aspects of moisture detection, focusing on why it's critical, defining acceptable moisture levels, methods for detecting moisture in walls and floors, and strategies for effectively rectifying these issues.

Last year as winter descended and energy prices rose, news outlets were awash with reports about charities, councils, and insurance companies using thermal imaging to pinpoint sources of heat loss. These stories made headlines because they detailed an innovative method that enabled patrons/customers to target insulation work effectively, subsequently reducing their energy consumption, heating bills, and carbon emissions. What in 2022 began as a little-known method of optimising energy efficiency has become increasingly popular throughout 2023. Now, as winter creeps in once more, ensuring homes are energy efficient is crucial. That’s why Teledyne FLIR has provided some top tips on what to look out for when conducting a thermal survey of your home. Continue reading →

Rising energy prices and environmental urgency have inspired charities, councils, and companies across the UK to look for innovative methods of maximising the efficiency of British homes. One such method is thermal imaging. In 2022, we brought you multiple reports of organisations, including the charity Cambridge Carbon Footprint; South Somerset District Council; and Octopus Energy, providing thermal cameras to property owners for the purpose of identifying heat loss. Armed with this information, householders could target their insulation efforts effectively. Subsequently reducing their energy consumption, bills, and emissions. 2023 has seen even more councils and organisations adopt similar policies. Below are just a few instances that made headlines.

As we come to rely on the internet, data networks, AI, and cloud-based systems more and more, it’ll become increasingly important to ensure the reliability and efficacy of data centres. Unplanned downtime can be very costly both with respect to loss of earnings and business reputation. A Teledyne FLIR case study estimates that data centre companies lose $8000 every minute a plant is down due to an unexpected failure.[1] Spotting potential issues before they become catastrophic faults could eliminate unplanned downtime. Understanding this, Teledyne FLIR offers a range of thermal imaging solutions specifically for this purpose. Continue reading →

August 2023 saw the biggest hunt for the legendary Loch Ness Monster in fifty years. Scores of enthusiasts flooded Inverness in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the long-mythologised Nessie. Stories about the cryptid have circulated for centuries but, to date, nobody has captured an undisputed image of the beast. Nevertheless, fans remained undeterred, hoping that the latest advances in thermal imaging technology would give them the edge.[1] Continue reading →

Explosions in hazardous areas are extremely costly. They endanger invaluable lives and can result in damage totalling hundreds of millions of pounds. Explosions occur when volatile gasses or dust in the atmosphere reach ignition temperature. According to conservative estimates, a major dust explosion takes place somewhere around the globe every 2.9 days! Predictive maintenance routines that include regular T-class temperature checks are an effective method of preventing such catastrophes. However, as suggested by their name, hazardous locations are dangerous. Therefore, unless your inspection tools are suitably certified for the site/s you are working in, you could increase your risk of explosion. Thankfully, Teledyne FLIR has designed an ATEX/IECEx-certified, pocket-sized thermal camera. It allows you to capture thermal images and temperatures without the need for hot work permits, and makes T-class surveys quick, safe, and easy. Continue reading →
