With the introduction of the new ThermaCAM SC500, FLIR Systems is able to extend the benefits of its patented solid state microbolometer detector techlogy to the R and D community.
Potential incidents averted at ICI using camera
A Flir Systems Thermacam thermal imaging camera purchased two years ago has proven its worth time and time again in the condition monitoring programme at ICI (Chlor - Chemicals)
This is in tune with the company's policy to employ the latest generation of key equipment and it has brought important new benefits.
In essence, ICW Power designs, manufactures, installs, commissions and services industrial and commercial power systems.
It also services other manufacturers' equipment.
Typical customers are in finance, telecomms, disaster recovery, pharmaceuticals and public sector organisations.
Its new ThermaCAM P60 has taken on the work of its predecessor, providing thermographic diagnosis as part of ICW's 24/7 service for 365 days of the year.
"Unlike our cooled camera, our new ThermaCAM is ready to use within seconds of switch-on", explained Cliff Ebsworth, Director of Operations for ICW's Power Service Division.
"We also have the digital attachment that allows us to take photos and thermal images with one piece of equipment; previously we had to use a separate digital camera".
In the type of businesses that ICW Power supports, the early detection of faults in electrical equipment is of paramount importance.
Major failures cannot be tolerated.
Cliff Ebsworth concludes: "Even relatively minor faults on fuses, circuit breakers and cables can cause havoc if left unchecked.
In the worse case they could result in a fire and cause significant server damage.
Our ThermaCAM leads us to these potential failures so that our clients can be assured of continuous voltage supply". Request a free brochure from Flir Systems ...
