Termokameror

Termokameror, also known as thermal cameras or infrared cameras, are devices that detect and visualize infrared radiation emitted by objects. This radiation is invisible to the human eye, but termokameror convert it into a visible image, often displayed as a spectrum of colors where different temperatures are represented by different hues.

The technology behind termokameror relies on specialized sensors, typically microbolometers, which are sensitive to infrared wavelengths. When infrared radiation strikes these sensors, it causes a change in their electrical resistance, which is then measured and processed to create the thermal image. The sensitivity and resolution of a termokamera determine its ability to detect small temperature differences and produce detailed images.

Termokameror have a wide range of applications across various industries. In building inspections, they are used to identify heat loss, insulation defects, and moisture issues. In electrical maintenance, they can detect overheating components in machinery and power lines, preventing potential failures. The medical field utilizes them for diagnosing certain conditions by visualizing temperature variations on the body. Other applications include night vision, surveillance, firefighting for locating heat sources, and industrial process monitoring. The effectiveness of a termokamera is dependent on factors such as ambient temperature, emissivity of the target object, and atmospheric conditions.
