Ideal for revealing hidden heat-driven processes and problems. Applications include: equipment maintenance, repair and operations (MRO); building energy audits; process/manufacturing plant maintenance; water damage restoration; firefighting; navigation; surveillance. By converting objects' infrared (IR) radiation to visible color images, thermal imaging cameras make it possible to detect very small temperature differences from a distance. Heat signatures can help diagnose the cause of equipment failures and poor performance due to wear and tear, misalignments and fault conditions.
