The article presents research on passenger cars aimed at identifying areas where the greatest heat loss occurs. These vehicles had been in operation for a long period of time (from several to several dozen years). To determine heat loss, thermographic examinations of individual structural elements of the vehicles were performed. Furthermore, the article presents the procedure followed during the tests, as well as methods for interpreting the obtained results.In recent years, the subject of thermographic measurements has been gaining an increasing number of interested parties. Thermographic systems show wide application both in construction and industrial diagnostics [3], e.g., demonstrating heat loss, locations with an increased failure rate, etc. For several years, they have also been used in the automotive industry, i.e., for testing vehicles transporting food (refrigerated trucks) [7] or in the analysis of heat distribution in tires and brake discs of vehicles [5].
Currently, more and more is expected from car equipment, and consequently, much more attention is paid to comfortable travel. (…)
