Improving Your Facility
Are
you concerned about a possible electrical fire at your facility?
Do
you have an older building where the electrical systems need checking?
Does
your insurance company give a discount for having a thermal scan done?
If you answered “Yes”, we can help!
Many fires in commercial facilities are electrical in nature and many can be prevented. Excessive
heat generated
by an electrical or mechanical device is normally a by-product of another issue
like loose terminal connections, corroded
wires, poorly greased or failing bearing,
etc. Northgate helps you "aim your effort" by identifying potential problem areas
that need further
investigation to improve the safety and efficiency of electrical
equipments, building structures and other apparatus. Some of the many
objects that can be scanned are
transformers,electrical switchboards,
transmission lines, circuit breakers, fuses, and switches. Through
scanning
of such objects it will be possible to lessen the chances of risks and therefore lessen insurance premiums.
Components of your equipment can be scanned such as motors, bearings, rollers, belt
alignments and many
more. The utmost advantage of thermal
image detection though is that it allows maintenance personnel to
investigate the faulty area before it even causes a problem. Thermal imaging is the first step in a
comprehensive predictive maintenance program.
What
is it that we can inspect?
Electrical Equipment
- Primary power source
- Switchgear
- Transformers
- Low voltage installations
- Fuse panels
- Motor control centers (MCC)
- Electrical cabinets
Mechanical Equipment
- Heating Systems
- Motors
(overheating bearings, misalignment, overheated windings)
- Pumps
(overheated connections, fuse problems, overloaded electrical cables etc)
- Process valves
(open, closed, leakage)
- Storage tanks
(sludge levels)
- Pipelines
(check if and where there are anomalies, for example locate build up of
scale etc)
Predictive maintenance
is where most forward thinking facilities want to be with
their maintenance
department. Northgate Energy
Solutions and Thermal Imaging offers a variety of cost saving services
related to predictive maintenance for these facilities. The main
services offered revolve around thermal
imaging, normally on a yearly basis. By providing a yearly electrical scan issues can be
identified and
corrected preventing possible entire buildingdowntime or
even catastrophic fire. Savings from this
service can be realized by
reduction in downtime and possible deduction in insurance rate. Northgate is
a thermal imaging company located in
