Freezer insulation inspection - thermal imaging keeps energy costs down

摘要

As important as they are for storing quantities of foodstuffs, commercial walk-in freezers use a lot of energy. It is therefore imperative that this consumption is kept to a minimum by ensuring the temperature inside the freezer is not compromised by any breach in its insulation.Thermal imaging is proving to be the ideal technology for this purpose and the process is much the same as seeking out faults in building fabric. The only difference is the direction of heat. When inspecting a building, a thermographer will generally look for heat leaking from the inside of the structure to the outside, but with refrigeration units the main requirement is to detect heat leaking inwards.
