Advantages Of Thermal Leak Detection

Advantages Of Leak Detection

• Why Should You Have Leak Detection At Home

2
Introduction

• Thermal Imaging is a process of detecting any
  type of object in a dark atmosphere. In this
  process, thermal imaging cameras are used, which
  catch the objects infrared radiation and create
  an image based on the information it collects.
  This process is called thermography. The thermal
  imaging system is a highly technical method,
  which also used for detecting home leakages.

Challenges Faced By Experts

• We do often face the problem of water damp or
  damage, pipe leakage. From kitchen to garden, be
  it is a small house or big commercial building,
  leakage can happen in any kind of construction if
  not maintained. Sometimes, leakage can fall out
  without any alert and cause some serious damages
  like - Rampant mold growth, Black Water
  Contamination, Damaged Wiring, Gas Lines, and
  Appliances, etc.

How It Works

• For this process, a special type of camera is
  been used. Thermal imaging science or thermal
  imaging technique comes with night vision
  technology. The thermal imaging camera lens has
  the super ability to focus the emitted infrared
  heat. his camera transfers this radiation to the
  screen and on the screen, the thermal image
  appears. This process is called
  thermogram.Thermal cameras are a specialized
  camera with FPAs technology. FPAs stands for
  Focal plane arrays. It reacts to the medium or
  long wavelength infrared.

Types of Thermal Imaging Devices

• Uncooled Thermal Imaging Device

• Cryogenically Cooled Thermal Imaging Device

Thermal Imaging Devices

• The un-cooled thermal imaging device is a
  familiar device in term of leak detection. The
  feature of this imaging device is, it can operate
  at room temperature. This device has an inbuilt
  battery, and this type of system is completely
  quiet, activates immediately.
• The cryogenically cooled device is very expensive
  and can get damaged if used roughly.
  Cryogenically-cooled systems can "see" a
  difference as small as 0.2 F (0.1 C) from more
  than 1,000 ft (300 m) away, which is enough to
  tell if a person is holding a gun at that
  distance!

Advantages of Thermal Imaging

• Thermal imaging devices do not need to come in
  contact with any object to measure its radiance.
  It is a non-contact technology and can measure
  the radiance from a lengthy distance also. There
  are some great advantages of infrared
  thermography or thermal imaging system are
  discussed here.

8
Advantages Are

1. Thermal imaging display the printed picture of
   collected radiative data from an object. So that
   the temperature over a large area can be
   measured.
2. It can catch the radiance of any moving object as
   well.
3. Infrared thermography devices can reach difficult
   to difficult areas can give an accurate
   measurement.
4. It is helpful in detecting any leakage, whether
   is it water leakage, or air leakage, small hole
   in a pipe, wall damp. It can document irregular
   heat dispersion and identifying possible
   irregularities in insulation.

9
More Advantages Are

• This process is a very smooth, safe and
  methodical process for leak detection.
• It can detect any radiance and measure from a
  long distance.
• Regular predictive maintenance using domestic
  water leak detection equipments help in saving
  money and consecutively lower the costs. This is
  due to less downtime, power outages, production
  losses, fires, etc.
• It can also work on less light or night ambiance.

10
Conclusion

• Thermal imaging service is helpful to observe
  defects in shafts, pipes, and other metal or
  plastic parts. Expert plumbers are using this
  technology to find damage to properties.
  Technicians include this process in leak
  detection service. To avoid any kind of serious
  issues, one should seek the help of best water
  leak detection company or experts, as they use
  proper tools like thermal imaging system to save
  your home. Undoubtedly, this is the best
  technical method to save property from damages.
