In the technologically evolving construction industry, advanced equipment is increasingly being used to better understand quality and home comfort. As far as we are concerned, the usefulness of a thermal imaging camera in the construction industry may certainly compete for the title of the most versatile measurement tool in construction. A thermal camera displays the thermal ratio of materials in a thermographic image. The science of correctly interpreting these images is called thermography. Of course, there is a wide variation in the quality and accuracy of thermal imaging cameras, but let's briefly touch on a few areas for which a thermal imaging camera can be used.
When there is sufficient thermal variation between the outside air and the inside climate of a home or building, a thermal imaging camera is capable of mapping the thermal transmittance across the façade.
When there is sufficient thermal variation between the outside air and the inside climate of a home and for a sufficiently long time (preferably 48 hours or more), thermal loss can be understood with a thermal camera. Heat loss through conduction can cause both unwanted cold air flow and condensation problems resulting in mold. You map thermal bridges with a thermal imaging camera.
Optimizing the indoor climate starts with a good survey of the heating system. Are the radiators performing as expected? Is the underfloor heating providing the necessary heat? Where are the water pipes in the building? Is the entire space heated as expected? Are there any blockages, and if so, can we locate them? Is the water heater performing as it should? A thermal imaging camera can give you a way out in many situations.
With moisture leaks, there are almost always thermal differences. Either the water retains heat longer, or the volume of water takes longer to warm up. The evaporative effect of moisture is also nicely visualized with a thermal imaging camera.
The infiltration of cold air into a home can occur in several ways. It is important to detect the unwanted infiltration in order to reduce energy costs and possible condensation problems. This unwanted infiltration can be caused by such things as pressure differences, wind, use of ventilation systems, use of an extractor fan/hood, etc.
Cells that do not conduct properly create resistance in the panel. The resistance created can be seen with the thermal imaging camera because of the heat it creates.
Through conduction of the cell on the glass, we can get a picture of any problems with a system. Many problems can occur such as, broken cells, mismatching of the cells, damage caused during assembly: shadowing effects, problems with diodes, PID (potential Induced Degradation)...
Overloads and transient resistances are some of the problems that can occur in a power cabinet. It is of great benefit to industry to perform such checks on a regular basis. But it can also be useful for building management to monitor the thermal ratio.
There is a wide variety in choices for thermal imaging cameras. Some things that can affect the quality and price of thermal imaging cameras:
