Friction as well as increases and decreases in pressure are also shown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Screenshots of the thermal image may be taken and saved. Then, we can share them with customers and members of our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How we use the Diagnostic Thermal Imager<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tire repair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the leak on a flat tire. Using this technology, we are able to pick out the tire puncture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An object is going to be a different temperature \u2013 and, therefore, a different color \u2013 than the tire. For example, a metal nail has been hitting the ground repeatedly and will probably be very hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Coolant system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device comes in handy when diagnosing coolant system problems, as well. On an overheating car, our automotive technicians can see where the coolant is moving to. If it isn\u2019t getting past the thermostat, it could mean that the thermostat isn\u2019t opening or closing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also proves true with heating problems. A lack of heat may be caused by a blockage in the radiator. We are able to check out the coolant temperature as it goes in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-1024x571.jpg\" alt=\"Live and thermal images of thermostat operations.\" class=\"wp-image-2337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-1024x571.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-1536x856.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-793x443.jpg 793w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations-1080x602.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/hometowneautorepairandtireofwoodbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Live-and-thermal-images-of-thermostat-operations.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exhaust system<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exhaust system problems can be solved, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have been able to use the technology to look at the inlet and outlet temperature.

The thermal imager allows our technicians to see what components are on, since the parts heat up when electricity is running through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just a few concerns that we are able to address with this tool. There are many other types of repair it can be used for, including engine misfires, malfunctioning alternators, and brake problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other ways this device helps us<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new technology we invested in allows us to better serve our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it doesn\u2019t just assist with finding problems. The device improves quality control by providing us with clear before and after pictures to confirm the repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also have access to photos that illustrate when a component is working correctly or going bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thermal imager helps increase efficiency, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many problems can\u2019t be seen just looking at a part \u2013 they often require additional tests that take time. Our new tool gives us the ability to look below the surface and narrow down our search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this device, technicians are able use the temperature changes to determine the root cause of problems logically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HomeTowne Auto Repair &amp; Tire is an authorized Michelin and BFGoodrich tire dealer located in Woodbridge, Virginia.
