Presentation Abstract:
Developments in Aerial Thermal Infrared Surveying of District Energy Systems –
Greg Stockton
Because of the advances in sensor technology over the past few years, the costs of aerial thermal infrared surveys has declined to a point where annual or semi-annual surveys are within the budget of almost all district energy system operators. Thermal data collected can be used for asset management planning and predictive maintenance (PdM), as supply steam and condensate return lines, hot water lines, chilled water lines, and other distribution piping can be monitored by looking at surface temperature patterns.
