Thermography helps see energy loss
New ThermaCAM B640 infrared camera from FLIR Systems featured at NEMEX.
It's so much easier to conserve energy if you can sense it For example, when lights and heating are left on in a high-rise, largely unattended office block that wastage is easily perceived

FLIR Systems - ThermaCAM B640 infrared camera
The ThermaCAM B640 infrared camera provides four-times the resolution of any other portable model on the market.
The World's Smallest Infrared Camera
With temperature measurement capabilities and weighing only 700 grams - 50% less than any other thermal imaging camera - the ThermaCAM E2 fits easily into the palm of the hand or on a tool belt.
An Introduction To Thermography
The quick and easy way to detect heat loss.
What we don't see however, at least not to the naked eye, is energy loss through building defects such as badly fitted windows or poor insulation.
Thermography has evolved into one of the most valuable methods of seeing this energy loss.
And in its new ThermaCAM B640 infrared camera FLIR Systems takes this ability a stage further.
This top-of-the-range building series camera that is featured at NEMEX now comes as standard with an insulation alarm as well as relative humidity and dew point alarms.
This separate function integrated in the new model allows the operator to determine immediately whether or not a building is well insulated.
All that is required is for a temperature measurement of the outside face of a wall to be taken and a critical surface temperature factor applied.
When the temperature is then taken of the inside face of the same wall the new feature will calculate which areas are inadequately insulated and highlight them in an 'alarm' colour on the infrared image.
A camera to suit every application and every budget is provided by the FLIR Systems range and for those who are new to thermography, the ThermaCAM BCAM SD provides an excellent introduction.
The pricing of this new camera reflects FLIR Systems' strategy to make infrared technology accessible to an even wider range of building professionals.
Rated at 0.10K NETD, the new BCAM SD can display a clearer image than its predecessor.
The camera also comes with removable SD card able to store more than 1000 radiometric .jpeg images.
This allows it to be used for a longer time before the need to download the images.
It also gives the operator the option to leave the customer with a copy of survey findings.
More application specific functions are introduced with the BCAM SD, features that were previously only available on the higher end ThermaCAM B-Series cameras such as the B640.
In addition to the dew point alarm that identifies areas at risk from condensation, the BCAM SD also includes an insulation alarm.
