Infra red & Ultra sound

1. Infrared & Ultrasound Two Proven Technologies ‘To Help Keep Your Plant Running’

2. Increase your Equipment ReliabilitywithInfrared Technology

3. What is Infrared? • Infrared is a form of electromagnetic radiation • Everything above -273 oC (absolute zero) emits infrared radiation • The heat we feel from the sun is infrared energy

4. Advantages of Infrared • Allows you to ‘see’ heat • Cost effective • Fast, non-invasive & safe to implement • Minimal downtime as a result of electrical and mechanical problems • Effective prioritization of repairs • Improved employee safety • Energy savings • Wide range of applications

5. The Infrared Camera • The Infrared Camera sees the total energy emitted by an object and translates it to temperature.

6. Infrared Image Interpretation Emmissivity

7. Infrared Thermometer A common misapplication of the Infrared Thermometer relates to its Distance-to-Spot Ratio. The size of the laser spot is not the size of the actual area being measured. A typical D:S ratio of 12:1 means the area of measurement’s diameter is 1’ if you are 12’ away from the object being measured.

8. Industrial Infrared Applications • Bearings • Electrical Panels • Transformers • Motors & Drives • Compressors & Pumps • Power Supplies • Floor Heat • Liquid Storage • HVAC, Computers & more…

9. Other Infrared Applications • Home & Building Heat Loss • Veterinary • Medical • Search & Rescue • Fire & Heat Detection • Security • Moisture & Water Leak Detection • Plumbing Blockages • Animal or Insect Infestations • Aviation & Marine

10. Increase your Equipment ReliabilitywithUltrasound Technology

11. What is Ultrasound? • Human range (16Hz to 18KHz) • Industry Applied range (20KHz to 100KHz) is Heterodyned for Audible Human range • Diagnostic Ultrasound is for Medical Imaging

12. Advantages of Ultrasound • Directional & Locatable • Useful in Many Environments • Early Warning Failure Indication • Wide Range of Applications • Supports Other Technologies

13. The Ultrasonic Probe • An Ultrasonic Probe hears electrical & mechanical problems as well as airborne disturbances.

17. Ultrasonic Leak Detection Compressed Air Systems Specialty Gases - Argon, Nitrogen, Oxygen Underground/ Behind Walls Vacuum Leaks Valves & Steam Traps

18. Estimating Air Loss Costs

19. Underground Leaks Ultrasonics along with Infrared Imaging has successfully located Floor Heating System leaks embedded in 8” of concrete Heating loops were mapped on floor. The line was pressurized with air to 50 psi so the Ultrasonics could pinpoint the leak for quick repair.

20. Valves & Steam Traps Valves Effect Flow; Leakage can effect the efficiency of the system Determine if the valve flow is upstream or downstream Test all types of valves, even while operational. Determine if a trap is operating properly.

22. Inverted Bucket Trap Normal Trap Failed Open

23. Ultrasonic Electrical Inspection Inspect enclosed systems while energized Scan switchgear ‘before’ opening to inspect with infrared Prevent ‘Arc Flash’ injury Sort equipment for further inspection

24. Electrical Equipment Switchgear Transformers Insulators Relays Breakers Power Supplies

25. Arc Flash • Arc flash can kill. • There are many causes of arc flash. It can occur in any electrical equipment regardless of voltage. • There are conditions, that produce the potential for arc flash within enclosed cabinets, that can be detected before flashover or arc flash incidents can occur. • These conditions are arcing, tracking and corona.

26. Arc Flash Conditions Corona Only occurs at 1000V or higher, and is undetectable by infrared inspection. Tracking Destructive dielectric breakdown that results in a fault in the insulator. Arcing The main concern in low voltage systems

27. Transformers & Power Supplies FFT (dB vs frequency) Time Series (dB vs seconds) High Voltage Components are well enclosed, making for poor or sometimes impossible infrared inspection Good Transformer Loose Transformer Good Power Supply Shorting Supply
