IDEAL Thermal Imager Identifies Hidden Building Defects

Conducting an energy audit with the HeatSeeker Thermal Imager from IDEAL will quickly detect building envelope leaks and air infiltration, pinpoint heat loss

and gains, highlight defective parts of an HVAC unit, and even show moisture in walls and air leakage around windows.

 

The HeatSeeker is a hand-held, high performance camera that blends visible images with infrared images. Just a quick scan will identify thermal anomalies that negatively impact building performance. 

 

The HeatSeeker incorporates an Auto Hot/Cold Tracker that automatically pinpoints the hottest and coldest temperatures on the screen with dual cursors, and provides temperature and difference between the two points. It captures a "real" digital photo of the subject that is then blended with a full infrared picture to provide added detail to the image under review.

 

Depending on the complexity of the image, the technician can choose to blend the digital photo with 25%, 50% or 75% infrared to better identify suspected problems. The digital image and the thermal can also be shown simultaneously in the display.

 

Operating the HeatSeeker does not require special training. Once an image is captured, technicians can measure temperature of any point on the fully radiometric image. A large full color LCD display provides clear color indication of surface temperature variations ranging from 14° F to 660° F. A full 1,849 temperature measurements can be viewed live on the LCD with an accuracy of ±

2% or ± 2° C. Saved images can be marked with text and live voice recordings to enhance communication. ThermalVision software makes it simple to view, edit or analyze images on a PC, as well as to generate detailed inspection reports.
