Lämpökartoitukset

Lämpökartoitukset, also known as thermal imaging or thermography, are a non-destructive inspection technique that visualizes surface temperature variations. This is achieved using an infrared camera, which detects infrared radiation emitted by objects and converts it into a visible image. Areas of higher temperature appear brighter, while cooler areas appear darker, creating a thermal map.

This technology finds application in numerous fields. In building diagnostics, lämpökartoitukset are used to identify insulation defects, air leaks, and moisture problems by detecting temperature differences caused by these issues. In electrical systems, they can reveal overheating components in machinery or electrical panels, preventing potential failures or fires. Industrial maintenance also utilizes thermal imaging to monitor equipment health and predict maintenance needs. Furthermore, lämpökartoitukset are employed in areas like veterinary medicine for diagnosing inflammation or injury, and in research for studying heat transfer phenomena. The interpretation of a thermal image requires expertise to distinguish between true anomalies and natural temperature variations.
