Real-Time Thermal Monitoring with NASCAR Next-Gen
Behind each NASCAR vehicle is a small army of team members determined to make sure race day goes smoothly, no small feat when each race pushes cars to the brink. When excessive heat issues in a redesigned cockpit threatened driver comfort and focus, the engineering team reached out to Teledyne FLIR to help identify the source of the problem using two FLIR A50 thermal cameras.

ITS-Series Dual AID Surpasses Standards for Fire Detection Systems in Japan
Underground land planning in major cities has helped ease the pressures of traffic and overcrowding but presents unique challenges due to the inaccessibility of underground roadways in the case of a traffic accident. Monitoring underground spaces, especially for tunnel fires, is essential to catch problems early and prevent catastrophic and life-threatening events. The Teledyne FLIR ITS Dual AID thermal camera provides real-time temperature measurement and alarms, giving it a major advantage compared to traditional fire detection technologies. Recently, the ITS Dual AID passed regulations for installment in underground spaces in Japan.

Insulation of Commercial Walk-in Freezers Checked With Thermal Imaging
Enterprises that need to store large amounts of goods at temperatures well below the freezing point of water often install large walk in freezers on their premises. It is therefore very important that no outside heat leaks in. To make sure that the freezer's insulation is working properly, thermographers inspect the insulation material with a thermal imaging camera.

Accelerate Electronics Design and Testing with Teledyne FLIR Infrared Cameras
As electronic components and systems get smaller and more powerful, the potential for failures and significant damage due to inherent heat generation increases. Finding, evaluating, and fixing these hot spots during product development and validation is becoming increasingly difficult. Whether you work in research, design, testing, quality assurance, or repair of electronic systems, you can benefit from viewing this free webinar.

The Importance of Thermal Sensitivity (NETD) for Detection Accuracy
As users continue to expand and evolve their security systems, the adaptation of thermal cameras to improve their overall situational awareness at the perimeter has been a growing trend. Because more visible camera manufacturers are introducing thermal offerings, it is important to understand what differentiates an entry level camera from a higher performing one. Those familiar with visible cameras understand that resolution and available pixels determine how well analytics will work for the necessary application. While resolution is important with thermal cameras, you also want to know what the NETD is and how this impacts the performance of the camera. In this tech note, you will learn how a thermal camera’s NETD will affect its image quality and the performance with analytics.

Seeing The Spread: Researchers Find How To Make Operating Rooms Safer With Help of FLIR GF343
Ensuring the safety of surgical staff includes having high air quality in the operating room. Proper air regulation decreases the spread of air-borne infections—including COVID-19—between patients and staff. Analyzing how those infections spread is of key interest to researchers at the University of Dublin, in Ireland, who are investigating how the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) in minimally invasive surgery might contribute to infection rates among doctors and surgery staff. In order to study the effect of CO2 in surgery, the researchers brought in the FLIR GF343, an optical gas imaging (OGI) camera capable of visualizing CO2. Before we dig into how or why they used this camera, though, it is important to note that the FLIR GF343 is not intended, marketed, or sold for use in the medical field or surgery. In this case, researchers used the camera to better understand the surgery setting.

Leaders of the Steel Industry use FLIR GF346 Gas Detection Cameras to Detect Harmful Carbon Monoxide Gas
Many steel companies have similar challenges tied to safety, productivity and environmental stewardship. They have the capacity to produce dozens of tonnes of crude steel annually, host operations in multiple countries, and employ tens of thousands of people—all of which can prove an challenge to safely producing hot and cold rolled coils, sheets, galvanized sheets, tubes, wire rods, construction rebars, and bearings.

Understanding qOGI
Quantitative optical gas imaging is the ability to utilize optical gas imaging – specifically, cooled hydrocarbon OGI – combined with an algorithmic solution, to quantify gas leaks invisible to the naked eye. When a leak is discovered (or suspected) in a more accessible location, a qOGI system provides superior ease of use. A TVA requires frequent calibration using a field calibration kit and works only “in the moment.”
