Infrared thermography
- for safe industrial production
Rittal uses infrared cameras and a so-called "thermo-image" to analyse the generation of heat in components, electrical connections, devices or housings and enclosures with full integrated systems for the IE and IT sectors.The method of infrared temperature measurement is based on the phenomenon that solids whose temperature lies above absolute zero (0.0 K = - 273.15 °C) emit electromagnetic radiation. The infrared camera, which operates without actually coming into contact with the test object, measures the intensity of this radiation and within seconds produces a detailed, colour-coded image of the temperature distribution.
Possible sources of danger are recognised in advance and can thus be eliminated safely and reliably.
Thermographic testing can be performed either on the closed housing of an electronics enclosure or on the individual electronic components installed in the enclosure.

The Rittal thermography service delivers fast, clear-cut analyses.
The plant designer is presented with an image of the final thermal conditions at the prototype stage.
In normal operation of the control and server systems, conventional measuring and control components often fail to reveal local hot-spots. The thermo-image, on the other hand, recognises and draws attention to these critical areas immediately.
The shortest connection when it comes to thermal analysis and adequate climate control.

In The Picture
The infrared camera displays the surface temperatures of components, electrical connections, equipment or enclosures with completely integral systems.
|
 |
Hot spots
By locating hidden hot spots in populated enclosures the efficient selection of climate control components is made easier.
|
 |
Flows
The evaluation of the air flow inside the enclosure ensures optimum positioning for use of ventilation based systems.
|
 |
Contacts
Defective electrical connections have a higher heat transmission and thus an increased power consumption. This may lead to malfunctions or even destructions of electronic contact points and the low-voltage distribution system. The infrared camera makes this source of defect visible. |
