Stay Ahead of the Energy Curve with Fluke Tools
In the pursuit of energy efficiency, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. But there are a handful of areas that make sense to target, including: motors and drives, air compressors, process equipment, HVAC systems, and power quality.
Thermal Imaging
A thermal imaging camera can speed up diagnosis and reduce or even prevent unscheduled downtime and damage to structures. Infrared thermography has a variety of benefits to offer and is the perfect tool for problem solving and preventive and predictive maintenance.
Fluke’s Thermal Imagers can be used for the following purposes:
- Capture data in hazardous areas from a safe distance
- Fast scanning of large areas, such as walls, ceilings, and roofs
- Acquisition of data without interrupting production
- Quick detection of irregularities at specific positions
- Detection of problems before actual failure
Power Quality
Power Quality is a set of parameters that is defining the characteristics of supplied power and can describe the impact they have on the performance, efficiency and longevity of electrical power systems and all of its components. Power Quality has impact on energy consumption, performance and efficiency of industrial systems.
Key areas where energy waste may occur are related to your power quality: unbalance, total harmonics distortion, transients, voltage regulation (dips and swells) and power factor.
Over time, the equipment may change with additions or adjustments, moves, and age can all have a significant effect on waste energy. Fluke’s Power quality range can help you minimizing unnecessary outlay, downtime and equipment damage while maximizing productivity and energy efficiency at the same time.
Energy Efficiency through Leak Detection
For industrial plants and facilities, compressed air, gas and vacuum systems are a vital source of converted energy. They run machines, tools, robotics, lasers, product handling systems, and much more. Yet many compressed air, gas and vacuum systems are compromised by wear and poor maintenance practices, which contribute to the greatest waste of all—the ever-present leaks.
Fluke has developed an industrial imager that can scan large, even very noisy areas quickly which helps locate leaks much faster than with other methods.
With the new firmware release Fluke ii910 now also includes MecQ™ mode which enables users to easily identify and localize areas of potential mechanical deterioration.
