Data Center Implements Infrared Inspection of Critical Switchgear
One of the most common metrics for measuring efficiency in facilities that host data centers for financial, insurance, and telecommunications facilities is a power usage effectiveness (PUE). Electrical distribution system losses account for 12% of the total energy consumed by the data center. In addition, unscheduled downtime in a data center is now estimated to cost over $8,000 per minute - not to mention damage to the reputation of the data center company.

Application Spotlight: Fired Furnace Inspections
Tubes on a firebox can overheat and rupture, starting an uncontrolled fire and other collateral damage. Refractory damage and improper burner alignment can also cause overheating and break down, resulting in downtime and a personnel safety issue—especially near inspection ports and ladders. That's why it's crucial to routinely inspect and assess the condition of the external steel firebox, tubes, and supports using a furnace inspection camera with thermal imaging capabilities. This kind of cameras allows inspectors to look through gas flames and determine whether localized internal coking is occurring, or if it’s external scaling.

Application Spotlight: Natural Gas Separators
In the fracking process, gas is separated from oil and water and sent to a meter while the oil and water is collected and hauled away by trucks. Through this process, sand can build up in the heating element, causing damage to the separator. If this build-up is not noticed and promptly removed, it may result in a costly and catastrophic failure of the unit. Since separators are typically inspected by hand or generally cleaned out on a routine basis without evaluation, a problem could arise without detection until it's too late.
