What are the 7 major applications of infrared thermometers?
1. Electrical maintenance, check for heat accumulation caused by loose connections, and diagnose faults in the connection terminals, ballasts, switchgear, and fuses of the battery pack and distribution panel; Identify the hotspots of the output filter on the DC battery line.
2. Equipment maintenance, measuring the rotating parts and casings of the motor and gearbox, and checking for hot spots. The change in temperature can indicate the development of various equipment failures from the box to the refrigerator. Regularly checking the temperature of the generator and its bearings can effectively prevent expensive maintenance costs.
3. For electric motors, an increase in motor temperature may be due to overload, winding damage, bearing failure, or voltage imbalance. The Fokker thermometer can be used to regularly check the operating temperature of motors, generators, and bearings without shutting down the equipment. The measurement results of new and working equipment can be archived as measurement benchmarks. Comparing future measurement results with benchmark data makes it very easy to identify performance faults.
4. Circuit breakers can identify overloaded circuits or poor connections through non-contact temperature scanning. Users can wear appropriate protective equipment and scan the switch device well one by one to check the temperature readings. If the temperature of a circuit breaker is high, it indicates that there may be a fault. Then conduct a detailed inspection using the Fluke type table.
5. Air conditioning, heating and ventilation system, simple and efficient diagnosis of boiler and circulation faults, cooling and refrigeration systems, heat exchangers, ducts and distribution systems. Scan the compressor and condenser to check for overheating or blocked air ducts.
6. In the steam system, a Fluke non-contact thermometer can be used to read the surface temperature of the condenser valve and determine whether the valve has a malfunction. When measuring from input to output, there should be a significant decrease in temperature. If the temperature does not decrease, it means that the valve is not open; But if the decrease is too large, it means that the door is completely closed. By monitoring the valve, it is easier to identify faults.
7. Insulation test, measure the insulation layer of pipelines and boilers, and check for hot spots. Use a Fluke infrared thermometer for scanning, and check the maximum temperature reading after scanning. The maximum temperature can reach 204 ℃, while the temperature in non insulated areas will be higher.
