Application:
Preventing mold formation
Thermal bridges waste energy. Condensation can also form in such places due to the humidity in the ambient air. As a result, mold forms in these locations with the associated health risks for the occupants. Testo thermal imagers use the externally determined ambient temperature and humidity as well as the measured surface temperature to calculate the relative surface moisture value for each measuring point. This means mold formation is shown on the display before it becomes visible to the naked eye: areas at risk are displayed in red, areas not at risk are displayed in green. This makes it possible to introduce measures to prevent dangerous mold formation at an early stage - including in hidden corners and niches.
Monitoring and checking solar energy systems
There are two main reasons for inspecting solar energy systems: safety and performance monitoring. Solar energy systems achieve their top performance in full sun. Testo thermal imagers can be used to monitor photovoltaic systems of all sizes in a way that is wide-ranging, contact-free and exceptionally efficient. Malfunctions are detected, the proper functioning of all components is ensured and the greatest possible efficiency is thus achieved. Additional reliability is also achieved through the ability to enter the key measurement parameter of solar radiation intensity: the value entered is stored with the thermal image and is then available for the image analysis.
Precisely locating roof leaks
Damp areas in the roof structure, in particular in flat roofs, store the warmth from the sun for longer than intact areas. This means the roof structure cools unevenly in the evenings. Testo thermal imagers use these temperature differences to pinpoint the exact roof areas with trapped moisture or damaged insulation.
Regular checks for electrical maintenance
Testo thermal imagers allow an evaluation of the heat status of low, medium and high voltage systems. Thermographic images lead to the early detection of defective components or connections, so that the required preventive measures can be introduced in a targeted way. This minimizes dangerous fire risks and avoids costly production downtimes.
Testing the air-tightness of new builds
If doors or windows are not correctly fitted, in winter cold air can enter and warm indoor air can escape. This results in drafts, increased ventilation heat loss and above all high energy costs. The combination of thermography and Blower Door has proven its worth. In this procedure, a negative pressure is created in the building so that cool outside air can flow into the building through leaky joints and cracks. Testo thermal imagers make it far easier to detect leaks.
Quality control in the production of diecast plastic components
During the development and production of diecast plastic components, Testo thermal imagers are used for the targeted monitoring of the cooling process. If diecast components cool very unevenly, differing material densities occur within the components, leading to reduced stability and poor fitting. The cooling process can be monitored and documented using a Testo thermal imager. This allows problematic areas to be detected early on during the development stage and remedied right away.
