Industrial Applications of Infrared Thermography

<p><strong>Infrared thermography</strong>-using thermal imagers to detect radiation (heat) from objects-is a <strong>powerful tool for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance</strong>. By converting heat into temperature data and displaying it as a visual thermogram practitioners can <strong>see hidden problems that are invisible to the naked eye</strong> allowing early detection of equipment faults before they lead to costly failures.</p><p>This book is a <strong>comprehensive practical guide</strong> featuring <strong>over 100 real-world thermal images</strong> from diverse industrial settings including <strong>fertilizer plants chemical facilities and crystal-glass production</strong>. Readers will learn to identify <strong>common failures across a wide range of equipment</strong> including:</p><ul><li><strong>Pumps and compressors</strong></li><li><strong>Transformers and motors</strong></li><li><strong>Engines and other critical mechanical assets</strong></li></ul><p>Beyond industrial applications the book also explores <strong>infrared imaging in construction medical and civil engineering</strong> demonstrating the versatility of this technology across multiple fields.</p><p>Whether you are a <strong>maintenance engineer reliability professional or condition monitoring specialist</strong> this guide equips you with <strong>practical techniques visual examples and actionable insights</strong> to integrate infrared analysis into your <strong>preventive and predictive maintenance programs</strong> helping you <strong>minimize downtime reduce costs and improve equipment reliability</strong>.</p>
