Hotspots refer to localized areas within equipment or systems that experience unusually high temperatures compared to their surroundings. These hotspots can indicate underlying issues such as faulty electrical connections, worn-out components, or inadequate cooling. Infrared thermography is an effective tool for detecting hotspots as it can visualize surface temperature differences. This enables technicians to identify problematic areas before they cause major damage or operational disruptions. Identifying hotspots through thermography contributes to failure prevention and helps maintain the safety and efficiency of systems.
