Measurement Methods of Non-contact Thermometers
It can save a lot of expenses. With an infrared thermometer, you can continuously diagnose electronic connection problems and locate hotspots at the output filter connection on the DC battery;
To check the functional status of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS), you can inspect the battery components and power distribution panel wiring terminals, switch gears or fuse connections to prevent energy consumption;
Due to the heat generated by loose connectors and combinations, infrared thermometers can help identify insulation faults in circuit breakers or monitor electronic compressors;
Daily scanning of transformer hotspots can detect cracked windings and wiring terminals.
The following are three temperature measurement techniques for non-contact thermometers:
Scanning measurement: detecting changes in targets over a wide or continuous area. Like refrigeration pipelines or distribution rooms.
Temperature difference measurement: Comparing the measured temperatures of two independent points, such as connectors or circuit breakers.
Point measurement: measuring the temperature of the entire surface of an object, such as an engine or other equipment.
Temperature measurement method:
Use an infrared thermometer to read the internal temperature of fluid foods, such as soup or sauce, which must be stirred before measuring the surface temperature. Keep the thermometer away from steam to avoid contaminating the lens and causing incorrect readings.
To achieve temperature measurement with an infrared thermometer that can move back and forth from the kitchen to the refrigeration area, it is necessary to wait for a period of time in a new environment to reach temperature equilibrium before measuring. Place the thermometer in a frequently used location.
When measuring the surface temperature of luminescent objects, such as aluminum and stainless steel, surface reflections can affect the readings of infrared thermometers. Before reading the temperature, a rubber strip can be placed on the metal surface, and after the temperature is balanced, the temperature in the rubber strip area can be measured.
