Exchanger Shell Side Build-up

Infrared Thermography or IR imaging scanning can observe conditions on power systems, refractory insulation problems, determine build up in process vessels, building envelopes, heat loss in homes. IR scanning is great for developing a PMP on boiler systems and other frequent equipment needing observations. Infrared excels to look at in-floor heating prior to concrete coring or cutting. IR also detects for electrical panels and power supply units such as bearings in motors heat signatures We are located in the Edmonton Area and cover all video inspection work in Western Canada, Alberta and the Oil Sands in Fort McMurray.

Material build-up is evident on the shell side of this exchanger. You are not seeing “through” the metal with the infrared camera. Rather you are seeing how the different rates of heat transfer and thermal masses affect the surface temperatures of the equipment.
