Yes you will see a significant temperature difference on the IR camera

Hi Rishi,

We have used IR thermography to assist with leak detection. This would require the removal of insulation in some areas. We also test from the ST exhaust all the way to the condensate return tank (removing the insulation along the way). In our experience Helium leak detection is not as effective and can be costly.

At our site we use a strap and wrap one end to a blade and the other end to a fixed support like a railing. This is very effective in preventing self spinning

At our facility we have two 3×7 banks and we use steam ejectors. So far they have been extremely efficient in maintaining the vacuum. I have never worked with vacuum pumps or hybrid systems so I am unable to say which one is better. With regards to the running costs all it requires are routine inspections by operations and maintenance
