Plugged Glycol Cooler

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.

The passes in the top right of this glycol cooler are plugged. This cooler is attached to a glycol dehydration tower. The tower was cleaned, and the clooler became fouled during the process by materials washed down from the tower. There was no thermal indication of pluggage before the tower cleaning procedure
