Recently we reported on the application of thermal imaging in equestrian sports and for Olympic horses.
However, horses are not the only animals that can benefit from thermal imaging. Infrared cameras have recently been used to diagnose heath problems in small animals too.
This makes the possibilities for thermal imaging much wider and also allows the use of thermal cameras to become a much more mainstream way of diagnosing problems. Continue reading →

Thermal Imaging for Solar Technology
When using solar panel technology on a building, it is important that the panel’s ability to function effectively is established. The use of a thermal imaging camera for solar panel evaluation will allow any problems to be clearly found on panels that are installed and those that are at the pre-installation stage.

Thermal Imaging for the Law
Thermal imaging cameras have been used in court cases where, in the case of building problems, the infrared camera has been used to establish the facts of the case. One such case was an Italian dispute concerning moisture ingress and mould formation in a brand new apartment building. The inhabitants of the apartments felt that the building construction was flawed but the building contractor blamed the inhabitants for not ventilating the apartments. Continue reading → -
Thermal Imaging in Olympic Horses
Thermal cameras help spot clinical problems in horses to help prevent serious injury. A trained thermographer or a vet can check the horse for injury or any weak/hot spots that are not otherwise visible to the naked eye. As this is a non intrusive method, any problems can be quickly and easily spotted without causing any distress to the animal. Continue reading → -
Building Thermal Imaging for Energy
Wolfgang Böttcher owns a thermography consultancy agency that specialises in thermal imaging building diagnostics. Using his thermal camera he performs energy audits. A Display Energy Certificate (DEC) in the UK is an essential requirement for all public buildings with a floor area over 1,000m2 and is a printed report that shows the actual energy usage of a building/office/structure.

The Applications of Thermal Cameras and Thermography
In the PASS Thermal Camera division we are never surprised at the types and sectors that buy thermal imaging cameras from us. Recently we've had everything from a sports physiotherapist to a window company. Here are a few applications and popular uses of Themography equipment; Veterinarians Animals, especially horses, cost a lot of money to keep fit and healthy if racing, riding or sport is a big aspect of that animal’s life. Every equine vet will tell you that preventing a problem is better and a hand held camera such as the Flir i40 Thermal Imaging Camera is vital for this kind of application by highlighting issues that may become problems later.

Thermal Equipment for the Fire Service
The Welsh Fire Service is embracing modern technology and fire fighting techniques by spending £1.3million on improvements to working conditions and safety. £600,000 is to be spent on equipment including thermal imaging cameras and hand held radios and £750,000 is to be spent on a training centre refurbishment in Neath.

Thermal Applications, Are you up to Speed?
There are many varying applications for thermography equipment and many companies and industries are now realising the benefit of using thermal technology to highlight and prevent costly problems. Below we have highlighted a few of the many applications a thermal imaging camera can be used for. Continue reading →
