Infrared Thermometers in the HVAC HVAC Industry
For most critical HVAC equipment, an infrared thermometer will give you instantaneous, accurate temperature readings. Use an infrared thermometer to diagnose duct leaks, temperatures of supply and return air, duct artifacts, and other heat-related problems.
Field inspection engineers use infrared thermometers to quickly and efficiently obtain temperature data for applications such as
Temperature data for the following applications:
Room Temperature Equilibrium: Scanning walls to get unbalanced temperatures
Pipe work: Scanning pipe surfaces to show the location of temperature spikes and adiabatic differentials.
Steam Distribution Systems: Diagnose expansion or steam blockages from a safe distance.
Boiler Performance: Tests boiler performance by checking pipe temperatures.
Air Supply and Return Records: Evaluate temperature differences in air supply and return
Other applications:
Checking condensate tubes for liquid seepage
Scanning wet wall panels to check for water leakage
Measuring the temperature of air coming from spiral tubes or supply racks
Inspection of Steam Systems
Detecting the working condition of steam system piping is often dangerous, with steam in the piping and hot valves often located in inaccessible places, Fluke infrared thermometers can help the user to quickly diagnose whether the piping is clogged or not, in a safe place, so that repairs can be scheduled in a timely manner.
Possible reasons why a steam system may not be functioning properly are:
Leaking, clogged pipes
Underpowered cooling and heating equipment
Clogged filters
Brake coil icing, etc.
Once you have a clear idea of the equipment you need to inspect, the next most important thing is to choose the right tool for the job. The Fluke 562/563 infrared thermometers provide engineers in the HVACR industry with an efficient and reliable testing experience.
