Every object emits thermal radiation when its temperature is above absolute zero. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength range is 0.78~1000 that can't be detected by human eye. Infrared thermal camera is the instrument that it can measure the infrared energy. It reflects object's infrared radiation, that's temperature scene.
The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot. Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras continually emerge.
Finding a problem with an infrared camera is sometimes not enough. In fact, an infrared camera image alone without accurate temperature measurements says very little about the condition of an electrical connection or worn mechanical part. Many electrical targets are operating properly at temperatures that are significantly above ambient. An infrared image without measurement can be misleading because it may visually suggest a problem that does not exist.
Nearly everything that uses or transmits power gets hot before it fails. Cost effective power management is critical to maintaining the reliability of your electrical and mechanical systems. And today, no one would argue that infrared thermography is one of the most effective proven predictive maintenance (PM) technology available to quickly, accurately and safely locate problems prior to failure. Finding and fixing a poor electrical connection before a component fails can save you the much greater costs associated with manufacturing downtime, production losses, power outages, fires and catastrophic failures
Infrared night vision technology has initiative and passive
Gas infrared imaging is use of gas characteristics that it absorbs particular wavelength infrared energy, make it is possible to see the image of the invisible gas leakage through gas infrared camera, that it can rapidly detect the gas leakage location.
Infrared window is a optical component which can be through the visible light, infrared and ultraviolet, with IR window installed in the electrical cabinet of the shell, it is easy to have non-destructive testing for facilities of inside the electrical cabinets.
