Case Study: Infrared Thermography for Determining Heat Transfer Coefficients
Technical systems and devices are often subject to the influence of thermal energy or heat up due to internal processes. Their efficiency and service life can be increased, for example, by optimised thermal management. The installed active components are usually optimised extensively for this purpose. Passive components, on the other hand, are often neglected in this respect.
Industries & Applications
With more than 30 models, InfraTec offers a variety of infrared camera models for all application areas of thermal imaging. Please find your suitable infrared camera in the application areas, which are listed below.

Thermal Imaging is a Contactless Measurement Technology
The Proper Infrared Camera for Every Thermal Imaging
InfraTec specialised on developing reliable high-class infrared camera models for all application fields of thermal imaging.
The benefit of non-contact temperature measurement technology is the capability to inspect objects non-destructively and contact-free and to make material conditions in deeper layers visible. The contact-free measurement of temperature distributions on objects or in processes constantly informs about the state of the object. Thus, deviations of the production standard can be recognised. In addition to the mobile infrared camera models, InfraTec has also developed various thermography automation solutions for process and quality control applications.
Application Fields of Infrared Thermography
Especially during the production of thermally sensitive components, thermography is capable of giving vital information for quality assurance purposes. Even smallest temperature deviations can lead to serious quality loss, i.e. in the plastics or automotive industry. By setting up a infrared camera monitoring system, such faults can be recognised, documented and corrected immediately.
InfraTec offers a suitable infrared camera and ideal thermography software for every application field, stationary or mobile. The modular structure of the measurement devices makes it easy to meet every customer-specific demand.
Infrared Thermal Imaging in Stationary Use
An infrared camera is installed in close vicinity to the process, which has to be monitored. The infrared camera transmits all captured data to an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit compares the actual value to the defined target value by comparing the minimum, maximum and average values. A switch contact can be triggered by the transgression of thresholds, which will then set off an alarm. Appropriate countermeasures can then be taken.
InfraTec’s measurement devices are rugged, have been tested extensively and are conceived for continuous industrial use. Modern interface concepts allow for reliable camera control, data acquisition and online data evaluation, even over long distances. This makes thermal imaging ideal for automation solutions like slag detection, early fire detection or for inspections of solar cells and photovoltaic modules.
InfraTec is a Leading Thermal Imaging Expert
InfraTec has been offering a wide range of innovative high-class thermal imaging measurement devices since 1991. The quality of the high-performance infrared cameras is based on profound and permanent development processes. The range of services of the thermography division ranges from production and sale of infrared cameras to the supply with turn-key thermography automation solutions.
FLIR – Forward Looking Infrared
The abbreviation FLIR stands for Forward Looking Infrared, which is an imaging infrared process. FLIR cameras are very common on military aircrafts or police helicopters. They are used to spot heat sources, which are then displayed via video output to the pilot. FLIR cameras are very different from night-vision devices and conventional infrared cameras, since these only display a certain infrared range.
