  2. INFRARED ENERGY? Convection • Every animate or inanimate body that exists emits energy from its surface at all wavelengths. Radiation • The energy is a form of electromagnetic wavelengths • Travels at speed of light Conduction • Behaves in most cases as a visible light • Can be reflected or concentrated using a lens filter • Energy increases as temperature increases

  3. WHAT IS BLACKBODY RADATION

  4. EXAMPLE OF IR REFLECTION

  5. OGI SEES WHAT WE CAN NOT!!!

  6. “Surf’s Up Dude…Lets Catch Some Waves!”

  7. Why the MWIR Region? 3-5u MWIR

  8. Atmospheric Absorption

  9. Absorbency vs. Transmittance

  10. “I see Background…Not Gas?!” The leaking gas temperature differs from the background temperature The OGI camera spectral band coincides with the emissivity (absorbance) spectra of the leaking gas

  11. KEY Components of an OGI Camera DETECTOR (HgCdTe/InSb NARROW IR semiconductor) BANDPASS FILTER (3.2-3.4 µm) STIRLING CYCLE COMPRESSOR DETECTOR and COOLER ASSEMBLY INFRARED LENS (75 mm lens pictured)

  12. IR Lens Size and Performance

  14. FL/FOV COMPARISON OF LEAK

  15. What does a leak look like?
