The use of infrared thermographic technique for the detection of energy losses

The present study shows a research work on the use of infrared thermographic technique as a non-destructive tool for the inspection of energy losses in various installations. Infrared thermography is a method showing thermal images of areas where local changes of temperature indicate hidden structures of thermal patterns. The detection of different temperatures of industrial installations can be found easily by this technique. The influence of humidity on thermal behavior of materials is also can be analyzed. Ventilating and air conditioning applications also need thermography applications for its compartment evaluation and the detection of thermal patterns of different systems. Several experiments have been carried out using thermography technique for thermal drying process of different biomass residues. Also experiments of the detection of high temperatures of electrical installations of industrial systems have been realized. The results obtained indicate that temperature profile is an important parameter for the detection of anomalies for different processes.
