Why Thermoscan Infrared Inspections are one of the most cost-effective predictive maintenance tools available. The cost of a through inspection by a professional Thermographer will be paid for many times over by the elimination of just one potential failure. If you have read the preceding pages, you will probably have a good idea of why you should Thermoscan® your facility. There are many good reasons but in our global economy things have to be “justified”:
HERE IS YOUR JUSTIFICATION: MONEY: | • Reduction of un-expected failures. • Less Expensive repairs. • Ability to plan and schedule repairs. • Reduce lost production. • Insurance rate deduction? | APPLICATIONS: | • Identify area needing preventative maintenance. • Repairing problems rather than rebuilding after failures. • Reduce EMERGENCY call outs of maintenance crews. • Locate buried thermal lines and leaks. • Scanning with thermal imaging equipment is much more faster and accurate than using a spot pyrometer. | Safety | • Decrease risk of electrical and mechanical catastrophic failure. • Decrease risk of FIRE. • Find sources of pollution. | ENERGY: | • Electrical & mechanical system efficiency. • Steam and other thermal system losses. • Insulation integrity. • Refractory failures. • Building Heat losses. |
