Thermal Camera

 

 

A thermal camera is a powerful tool for uncovering hidden leakage in your home, school, or workplace.

Small leaks around windows and doors, or in air conditioning systems, are invisible to the naked eye, and in some cases may not even be felt.  These hidden leaks in your building’s thermal envelop can impact the building occupant’s safety and overall health, your budget, and the useful life of the building.  Unidentified hot spots, for example, may indicate overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or overheated electrical components which pose the risk of fire.  These same places, as well as unusual cold spots, may denote gaps in insulation which compromise energy efficiency, and cost you money.  And temperature discrepancies may also be a sign of moisture lurking behind walls, foundation seepage, and mold-prone areas.  These, in turn, compromise a building’s structural integrity while increasing susceptibility to respiratory ailments such as asthma and allergies – the leading cause of student absence.

Achieving an even thermal imprint is vital for safety, health, efficiency, and building longevity.

The FLIR C2 can convert a cell phone or other device into a thermal camera to “make the invisible visible,” and users can work with a stand-alone, pocket-size thermal camera itself.  Both the cell phone option and the stand-alone camera measure temperatures between minus 4 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit (-10°C and 150°C).  These cameras are equipped with reporting software for Mac or PC, and its interactive features diagnose possible problems and recommend products and solutions.

In cars and school busses, the technology can identify irregularities in coolant and exhaust systems, as well as radiator and tire leakage.
