FAQs
1. What are the advantages of cooled thermal modules?
Cooled thermal modules offer several advantages, including:
Higher Sensitivity: Cooled modules can detect smaller temperature
differences, providing better image quality.
Longer Range: They can capture thermal information over greater
distances.
Higher Resolution: Cooled modules typically offer higher pixel
counts, resulting in sharper and more detailed images.
Reduced Noise: The cooling process substantially decreases the
sensor noise, resulting in clearer images.
Suitable for Advanced Analysis: Cooled modules are often used for
scientific research, remote sensing, and specialized applications
that require precise temperature measurements and analytics.
2. What are the advantages of uncooled thermal modules?
Uncooled thermal modules have their own set of advantages,
including:
Lower Cost: Uncooled modules are generally more affordable than
their cooled counterparts.
Compact Size: They are smaller and lighter, making them easier to
integrate into various systems.
No Maintenance: Uncooled modules do not require cryogenic cooling
systems, simplifying maintenance requirements.
Instant Startup: They can be quickly turned on and produce thermal
images without the need for cooling.
Energy Efficiency: Uncooled modules consume less power compared to
cooled modules.
3. What are the typical applications of cooled and uncooled thermal
modules?
Cooled and uncooled thermal modules find applications in various
fields, including:
Cooled Thermal Modules: Long-range surveillance, scientific
research, high-resolution imaging etc.
Uncooled Thermal Modules: Personal night vision devices, handheld
thermal cameras, automotive safety, building inspections,
firefighting, and consumer electronics.
It’s important to note that the specific application and its
requirements often dictate the choice between cooled and uncooled
thermal modules.
4. Are infrared thermometers accurate for measuring body
temperature?
Infrared thermometers (also known as non-contact thermometers) can
provide a quick estimation of body temperature. However, their
accuracy can be influenced by various factors, such as the distance
from the target, external temperature conditions, and the device’s
calibration. For medical purposes, it is recommended to use
clinical-grade thermometers for precise measurements.
