Thermographic Survey

MD&A provides Thermographic Surveys as a standalone service or included in our Performance Testing & Analysis services.  Internal and external cycle isolation leakage can be a very large source of performance loss in a cycle.  Our engineers use infrared thermography and acoustic techniques to identify leakage.  We use industry-accepted techniques to quantify the leakage.  Once the leakage is quantified, Thermodynamic Analysis is used to determine the impact on cycle performance.  Losses are ultimately provided as a loss in $/yr based on fuel or electricity costs and increased water consumption so the customer can make an informed maintenance decision.
