How Does the Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera Detect Water Leakage in the Floor Heating?

Infrared thermal imaging cameras have a wide range of uses, one of which is the detection of floor heating leaks. This article will specifically introduce the method of infrared thermal imaging camera to detect water leakage for floor heating.
How does the infrared thermal imaging camera detect water leakage in the floor heating?


Many families will install floor heating, but if the floor heating is improperly constructed, the pipeline is of poor quality, or if it is modified privately, it is easy to leak water from the floor heating, which will seriously damage the walls of the house. The traditional method of detecting leaks of floor heating is generally destructive detection, which is not only troublesome but also costly, so now most of them choose to use infrared thermal imaging cameras to detect.

The reason why the infrared temperature camera can detect the water leakage is that it can clearly show the energy loss of the floor heating pipeline in the form of an infrared thermal image, so as to find the specific water leakage location. Generally, if the floor heating leaks, The image of the water leakage pipeline is blurred and diffused, and it is non-linear, showing a mass of heat in the infrared image. If the temperature of the leaking location is high, it will appear white and bright in the infrared picture.

1. By suppressing the branches of the floor heating, it is judged that there are leaking pipes. Usually, 5 kg of pressure is applied to the pipes. After 30 minutes, if only 1 kg of pressure is left, it is an obvious suspicious situation of water leakage and can be preliminarily judged which floor heating coil is leaking.

2. Since the use of thermal temperature cameras requires a certain temperature difference between the floor heating temperature and the ambient temperature, before testing, you must use a pressure test pump or a self-priming pump to inject hot water above 70°C into the floor heating pipe to make the floor temperature higher than room temperature. Thus forming a temperature difference.

3. About 15-30 minutes after the hot water is injected, the infrared camera can be used for detection. In the captured thermal imaging images, it was found that the temperature was significantly higher, and the infrared thermal imaging was in a concentrated state. This means that it is not a traditional pipe shape, but a leaking point.

After finding the leaking point, just excavate and repair it. The infrared thermal imager detects the floor heating leaking with high efficiency and small workload, and it can also reduce the maintenance area and reduce economic losses.
