Abstract

An infrared camera is the best tool for identifying the temperatures in various parts of thermal power plants. In this paper, authors identified the probable faults in different parts of the Boiler using temperature. A well-liked and secure technique to use in condition monitoring and preventative maintenance is infrared thermography. This procedure is directly applied to determine whether the machine is operating normally or not and also to identify the heat pattern that indicates inefficiency and flaws within the machine. For the asset manager, it is the best practice. This procedure lowers the danger and increases operational dependability. Checking bearings and belts, and keeping an eye on electrical rooms, panel boards, rotating motors, boiler operations, etc., are all made easier using infrared thermography. This method helps pinpoint the precise site of the equipment or machine malfunction. It can avoid events that can happen due to destruction from heat radiation and save energy, money, time, and money on repairs. If the operations are prepared for the obstacles, they can be managed successfully. This paper presents details of an Expert system for Boilers in Thermal power plants.
