Infrared thermal imaging technology plays a significant role in automotive maintenance, providing an efficient and intuitive method of detection that helps to enhance the reliability and safety of vehicles. With technological advancements, the application of infrared thermal imaging technology in the field of automotive maintenance is expected to become more widespread.

Infrared thermal imagers can detect the temperature distribution on the surface of the engine, reflecting internal structural issues such as minor cracks or design discrepancies through subtle temperature differences. By measuring the temperature of the exhaust pipe, the combustion efficiency of the engine can be indirectly assessed. Uneven temperature distribution may indicate defects in the pipe structure. Infrared thermal imaging technology can compare the temperatures of the vehicle's front and rear wheels, with the front wheels typically being hotter than the rear. A temperature difference may indicate issues such as blocked oil passages in the braking system.

Infrared thermal imagers can check the working condition of the rear window heater wires, ensuring driving safety in foggy conditions. Infrared thermal imaging technology can help detect the airtightness of the car's air conditioning system, addressing leakage issues at door and window seals that affect the efficiency of the air conditioning work; infrared thermal imagers can inspect the bearing systems and electrical equipment of the car chassis, assessing their working condition through temperature distribution. In electric vehicles, infrared thermal imagers can evaluate the working condition of the power battery, identifying fault points through abnormal temperatures.

Infrared thermal imaging technology is not only suitable for traditional automotive maintenance but can also be applied to car modifications, automotive parts suppliers, as well as procurement and development services for vehicle manufacturers.
