Infrared detection of leaks. Infrarood detectie van lekken.

Distinguishes two categories of leaks in buildings for cold storage. Thermal leaks through parts of the construction with poor thermal insulation and air leaks through openings in the walls allowing a more or less free flow of air. Outlines principles of infrared radiation and thermography. Discusses applications for both types of leaks. Under the conditions of high emissivity of the surface to be studied, and absence of local heating or cooling (sun,wind, rain), thermography is an effective method for the detection of thermalleaks and a powerful tool for localizing air leaks.
