Hello {{user("firstname")}}, Its September and that means back to school for students the world over, and thermographers are no exception.
You have a multitude of learning choices
available to you including
instructor led
courses in the classroom and over the web, With high energy costs and winter looming ahead, we are all thinking about how we can reduce our energy bills. In this month's article, Roy Chan provides several examples of how thermography can help. As usual we have our Message board posts, News items, and our monthly Brainteaser for you to solve. As with all images in this newsletter,

I
was performing a thermal clearance for a restoration company. They had
dehumidifier and air movers in this one office. After shutting the
machinery down and removing them. I came in to perform thermal imaging
to make sure the structure was dry. On one of the walls my EX320 picked
up this anomaly in the wall. It ran from the outlet to the adjacent
wall. The IR Image is just a section of the anomaly. I have not seen
this before. Is this a normal occurrence or is there something wrong
with the wiring?
Check
out this Image. Very odd. 
Has
anyone ever seen thermal pattern of silencer like this? I'm not sure
that the inside structure is damage which cause of air compresor surge.
Guys,
Here is a good example on how IR can help you guys out there in
inspecting Air conditioning split unit. From the picture, you can see a
black area on the condenser coil. Which in reality shows that there is a
potential blockage in the coil. However do remember due to many
type/design of coil, some manufacturer is actually not using all the
coil lines. So after flushing the condenser coil with R11 solvent, all
the black spot/area are no longer there.
I
am a new member and would like to know if anyone has any information on
how to locate termite activity in walls. I have a BCAM, is this camera
OK? If not what camera type is better. Thanks for any help you can
offer.

Only 1 guess out of the 109 we received was correct. Congratulations to our winner Jerry Schreier and to our thermogram contributor, Dave Wichhart from the Pella Corporation. They win the revered ITC low e coffee mug. |
