The article presents the possibilities of conducting periodic inspections of vehicle heating circuits using a thermal imaging camera. An assessment of heat distribution in the passenger cabin was performed, and methods for interpreting the obtained results (thermal images) were presented in order to diagnose various types of faults (front and rear window heating, damage to ventilation grilles, intake ducts, etc.).In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to searching for new diagnostic methods and procedures, as well as parameters linking a given physical quantity to a malfunction of a system or circuit. Increasingly, the amount of heat transferred from one body to another is being analyzed in vehicle testing. In practice, temperature measurements are used, based on which the amount of heat emitted by a given car component can be determined with high accuracy. There are three ways of heat transfer [3, 6]:
– conduction, – convection, – radiation. (…)
