FLIR Releases Compact Thermal Imager

Published 1/23/2014

FLIR has released a compact thermal imager designed to attach to an Apple iPhone 5. The FLIR ONE is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal to create a thermal image with temperature calculations on the phone screen. Thermal imaging can be used to find and pinpoint issues like loose connections, failing breakers, overloaded wiring, overheating motors, bearings and compressors, misaligned shafts, as well as air and water leaks. The technology will enable contractors, engineers, plant managers, and energy auditors to detect thermal differences stemming from electrical and mechanical problems.
