Marden Thermographic

Mechanical Thermal Surveys

In all plants there is a diverse collection of machinery that can be successfully inspected using thermal infrared thermography. Temperature is the most widely used indicator for determining whether motors, boilers, bearings and all other types of operating equipment are functioning properly. When mechanical equipment begins to fail there will usually be a rise in the temperature of the equipment as compared to the temperature of a properly operating system. A temperature that is too high or too low from baseline indicators is usually a precursor to many significant problems, problems that infrared thermography can detect quickly and accurately. Saving work hours and preventing down time with minimal interference to ongoing operations. Monitoring your equipment's operating temperature is a critical component of a well-planned predictive and preventive maintenance program. The payback for maintaining your equipment at peak efficiency is extended life of your physical asserts and continual turnover of product and revenue. Having thermal infrared inspections as an integral part of your facility maintenance program can make certain the detection of:

• Excessive heat from generators & compressor manifolds.

• Monitor overheating bearings & rotating equipment.

• Find flaws & blockages in hydraulic systems & heat exchangers.

• Identify flaws & blockages in water-cooled systems.

• Spot malfunctioning steam traps.

• Locate the effects from out-of-alignment drive couplings, and over heating motor bearings.

• Detect fans, pumps & drive overloads.

A mechanical thermographic survey is easy, quick and above all else is non disruptive. For a free, no obligation quotation for a survey on your premises please go to our contact page or call us on 01777 817536. 

Infrared surveys will help determine the running temperatures of mechanical components.

Large mechanical motors can be scanned and temperatures recorded to monitor the condition of the engine.
