Thermal Imager
Thermal Imager (also referred to as thermal camera, infrared camera or infrared imager) based on infrared imaging technology provides visual thermograms that are images of radiation in infrared range of 9-14µm. Thermal imaging camera detects heat patterns, temperature values or changes in objects and is used for condition monitoring in machinery and medical industry, or process monitoring in manufacturing.

A thermal imaging camera consists of five components: an optic system, sensor (detector), amplifier, signal processing electronics, and display. These components incorporate in a heat-resistant, rugged, and waterproof housing and work together to render infrared radiation, such as that given off by warm objects or flames, into a visible light representation in real time. The camera displays infrared output differentials, so two objects with the same temperature will appear to be the same “color”.
Each body with a temperature above the absolute zero (-273.15°C =0 Kelvin) emits an electromagnetic radiation from its surface, which is proportional to its intrinsic temperature. A part of this so-called intrinsic radiation is infrared radiation, which can be used to measure a body’s temperature. This radiation penetrates the atmosphere. With the help of a lens (input optics) the beams are focused on a detector element, which generates an electrical signal proportional to the radiation. The signal is amplified and, using successive digital signal processing, is transformed into an output signal proportional to the object temperature. The measuring value may be shown in a display or released as analogue output signal, which supports an easy connection to control systems of the process management.The illustration below shows the general construction of an infrared thermometer
With the help of input optics the emitted object radiation is focused onto an infrared detector. The detector generates a corresponding electrical signal which then is amplified and may be used for further processing. Digital signal processing transforms the signal into an output value proportional to the object temperature. The temperature result is either shown on a display or may be used as analog signal for further processing. In order to compensate influences from the surroundings a second detector catches the temperature of the measuring device and of his optical channel, respectively. Consequently, the temperature of the measuring object is mainly generated in three steps:1. Transformation of the received infrared radiation into an electrical signal 2. Compensation of background radiation from thermometer and object 3. Linearization and output of temperature information.For more details, please download the Basics of non-contact temperature measurement.
