Hot axle boxes or burning transported loads must be identified before entering tunnels in order to prevent disasters.
A thermal map is simply completed with a thermal camera, but the accurate evaluation of the temperature is a much more complex operation as it depends on the emissivity that change accordingly to the material, the surface roughness grade and the viewing angle.
Thermographic Scanning
An accurate scanner performs the train thermal analysis. It uses cutting-edge sensors, specifically designed according to MERMEC specifications to improve system accuracy. The system creates a thermal map of the train surface identifying temperature anomalies.
