This week has seen the launch of our new look Thermal Imaging Camera website. Continue reading → -
Thermal Imaging Ash Cloud Detection System
Since the eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano grounded most of UK airspace, scientists have been trying to come up with some kind of Ash cloud detection system. A standard jet engine superheats the ash particles, which turns them to glass inside the engine itself resulting in the engine stopping mid air. Continue reading → -
Thermal Imaging Helps Anaesthetists
Sometimes a regional anaesthetic is preferred for certain medical procedures as it is considered to be safer for the patient. However, in order to test the effectiveness of a local anaesthetic, a pinprick test is carried out and if the pinprick is felt, the anaesthetic is considered to be ineffective and it also means a wait time of 30 minutes after administering the anaesthetic to see its effectiveness. Continue reading → -
Welcome to the Thermal Zoo
Thermal imaging cameras are being used to monitor the stress levels in zoo animals and to keep those stress levels to a minimum. It has been reported that many animals are prone to emotional stress and the physical side effects of anaesthetics, and in some cases treatment does more harm than good. Continue reading → -
Thermal Housing Construction
Thermal Cameras help optimise low cost housing solutions. A company has been developing steel based housing solutions for Romanian families in need. The priority is that the houses are simple, safe, decent and well insulated. The company developing these steel based housing solutions is ArcelorMittal and they are the world’s leader in steel production. Continue reading → -
Thermal Imaging and Car Production
At the Fiat Car factory in Italy they are using thermal imaging cameras for predictive maintenance purposes, in order to predict electrical and mechanical faults. The factory produces 250,000 cars per year, meaning that it is important for the system of car production to work efficiently without any possible faults. Continue reading → -
Infrared Flu Detection
Infrared cameras can detect elevated body temperature which may indicate the presence of fever. Due to factors such as, economic migration and the growth of international travel means that it is much easier for infections and disease to spread quickly. This calls for a stringent global prevention policy. Continue reading → -
Infrared Electrical Detection
Electricity is usually taken for granted in our society. However, the electrical grid has to have regular inspections of the network’s components to ensure a continuous supply of electricity. Thermal imaging cameras are increasingly being used to see the components state of operation. E.ON Bayern, a German power and gas utility company are the main power supplier in central Europe and have started to use thermal imaging cameras as part of their preventative maintenance programme. Continue reading → -
Volcanic Thermal Imaging
The magnificent power and danger of volcanoes intrigue and fascinate Geological Researchers. They are a window into the centre of the Earth and allow researchers to better understand the Earth itself. Through the use of a thermal imaging camera, a researcher can measure volcanic heat without the need for contact with the lava. A thermal camera is capable of recording radiated heat and displaying the thermal image and temperature reading on the display. Continue reading →
