POSSIBILITIES OF USING THERMAL IMAGING TO DIAGNOSE FUEL INSTALLATIONS AND DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT IN AVIATION UNITS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The fire hazard is one of the main threats occurring in the process of securing military units' liquid fuels. Due to the quantity and intensity of fuel consumption, aviation is the branch of the Armed Forces where this threat occurs. In order to reduce the occurrence of this hazard, it was assumed that the use of a thermal imaging camera for diagnostics and assessment of the efficiency of equipment and fuel infrastructure at military airports is possible. Based on the conducted research using this type of camera at two airport facilities, the possibility of carrying out diagnostics and assessing equipment efficiency has been confirmed.
