11. 5. 2023Thermodiagnosis of photovoltaic power plants
The worldwide increased knowledge of the environment and the risk of exhausting non-recoverable energy sources is a reason that various methods of using alternative resources have been sought.
Solar energy is an inexhaustible source which, thanks to the programmes for the support of the construction of solar power plants is most often used.
A fast, cheap and reliable method where it is possible to check the quality of a large area of solar panels is thermodiagnostics using the Workswell WIRIS thermal imaging system attached to the drone.
Pipeline inspection with thermal diagnostics
Pipeline – this is defined as a “special form of transport used to transport liquids (i.e. liquids and gases), or liquid mixtures with solid particles”.
The issue of thermographic pipeline inspection applies to long-distance piping systems supplying variable media with a temperature different from the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
By using thermographic systems, it is possible to determine and localize defects to pipeline insulation and leaks of the transferred media. In some cases, leaks can even be determined and localized in underground pipelines.
Thermodiagnostics of flat roofs
Flat roofs were originally built in areas with low rainfall. For example, they can be found in the architecture. In the modern era, the quality of insulation against atmospheric conditions increased so flat roofs appeared on factory halls as well as highly architecturally appreciated buildings.
The benefits of such roofs are that they save material, are less labour intensive, provide the option of variable roofing layouts and the potential use of roof areas. Thermal imaging systems provide the perfect tool to evaluate the technical condition.
The thermal imaging system located on the drone provides a fast and economical solution for surveying wide roofs on industrial sites.
