Maximise uptime and reduce maintenance costs
Preventative maintenance and periodic inspection are especially important to wind turbines as their components are susceptible to wear and breakdown.
Preventative maintenance and periodic inspection are especially important to wind turbines as their components are susceptible to wear and breakdown. And the result of failure isn’t just costly downtime but also a potential health and safety issue too.
In its new technical application guide, FLIR Systems emphasises the importance of thermal imaging in the maintenance of wind turbines. It is the only technology that permits inspection of all electrical and mechanical components and associated electrical systems.
Adding thermal imaging to the preventative maintenance routine helps improve workplace safety, giving field technicians the ability to see problems before they become failures and turn into potentially life-threatening situations.
