 |
Heater Shells
Internal refractory damage
|
 |
Heater tubes
This thermal image of horizontal tubes inside a gas-fired
heater clearly reveals coke build up in the centre tubes.

 |
Main power transformer
Overheating contacts inside this load tap changer on a
main power transformer has caused a dramatic increase in
the temperature of the oil inside. |
 |
Mechanical and electrical equipment
The motor in the background is revealed by IR thermography
to be much hotter than the one in the foreground, which is
operating under similar load. |
 |
Microcircuit
ThermaCAM image of a microcircuit showing 7 micron leads.
Faults even smaller than 7 microns can be detected.
