Bellows repairs and installations should be well prepared in advance so that the downtime and installation schedules remain in check. Well-timed in-service bellows mapping with thermal camera analysis helps with downtime planning and can significantly shorten downtime when you know what needs to be done. Total costs are also better controlled when possible frame repairs can be predicted.

We use a thermal camera with analysis software, which makes it possible to photograph difficult-to-detect heat leaks in the ductwork in the vicinity of the bellows. Often at the point when the fabric bellows start to show signs of damage, the masonry, insulation or metal parts of the duct have already broken. Leak points located with a thermal camera can be checked more closely during downtime and the extent of the repair work defined
