Thermography Analysis

Hereford Rewinds Limited is fully qualified to carry out your thermographic needs. With up to date camera systems we can respond to your needs quickly. The surveying does not interrupt your production. It’s none intrusive, informative, cost effective, quick and reliable. Thermographic technology has been around since the mid 1960’s. It is used for a number of application including predictive and preventive maintenance, military, law enforcement and any other heat related applications. The great benefit of using thermography is that it is none intrusive. This means that inspections can be carried out whilst you operations continue working. Thermography is a cost effective method of monitoring the condition of production machinery, control panels, steam systems, boiler systems, pipe systems in difficult to reach places, chillers stores and control panels. Leaks in a roof space can be detected and located using our equipment. Hereford Rewinds Limited not only has the experience to carry out thermographic surveys but also can advise on solutions to the findings. Having been an Electrical Mechanical repairer for nearly 40 years gives us the experience in problem solving that many other surveyors don’t have.

Electrical Surveys

Using thermography is a very effective method of monitoring and inspecting electrical equipment. Thermography provides a non-intrusive tool to inspect panels wiring circuits, transformers and contactors to name a few. Faults that can be detected include insulation failure, overloaded cables, loose joints, out of balance three phase circuits, blocked cooling fins (transformers) and failing contactors and breakers. The benefits to carrying out regular well planned preventative maintenance schemes is that it helps to prevent unplanned outages and breakdowns that can cost huge amounts of lost production and direct costs of emergency repairs.

Mechanical Surveys

Any moving machine has the potential to fail. Whether it is bearings, shaft alignment, heat exchangers blocking, mechanical seals in pumps, generator / compressor (manifold temperature) or a myriad of other faults thermography can detect the failures as part of a preventative maintenance scheme. When machinery is running well it will operate at a constant temperature and by monitoring this base line information we can detect when the temperature rises to indicate a fault. Timely detection gives time to plan the repair and helps to illuminate unplanned stoppages.

Building Surveys

Thermography can help with many aspects of building surveys. A few applications for a thermographic camera include leak detection, insulation, damp, wiring circuits, pipe blockages, air leaks (double glazing seals). New builds often require drying out before finishing can take place, thermographic images can tell us which walls, floors or ceilings are still damp. Energy saving is important to everybody nowadays and to be able to look into walls or ceilings and establish how much heat loss is occurring can save huge sums of money over time.
