    Interesting people, impressive careers and exciting product applications- Cool Solutions Distribution use thermal imaging for instant and non-intrusive temperature measurement

    Meet Cool Solutions

    Cool Solutions Distribution Ltd (CSD) are a Leeds based Toshiba air conditioning design house and distributor. Based in Yorkshire, CSD serve customers throughout the UK. They have a well-stocked trade counter to support their network of customers with all ancillaries needed to install, service and maintain a refrigeration or air conditioning system. Products and services CSD offer range from copper pipe, insulation, cable and mechanical fixings, through to refrigerants and specialist tooling for refrigeration and air conditioning engineers.

    Throughout the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration sectors, temperature measurement is an important part of daily work. For those who are regularly servicing heating systems or air conditioning units on site, thermal imaging offers a quick and non-intrusive way of checking temperature of pipes, flow and return temperature, underfloor heating as well as locating blockages and leaks. This can save a huge amount of time when it comes to diagnosing issues, or even avoiding potential problems going forward.

    Use of testo 865s Thermal Imaging Camera on air conditioning units

    CSD commission cooling and ventilation systems for large office spaces. Typically, systems require multiple air conditioning units and outlets, with many pipe runs and flow returns. CSD are regularly required to take pipe temperatures and readings on site. In the past, this has proved to be time consuming and awkward, especially if the space is occupied with people, desks or other items. Research led Matt Worsman of CSD to explore how thermal imaging might be used to improve and speed up this process. Due to the company’s previous experience of Testo products and trust in the Testo brand, CSD selected the testo 865 Thermal Imaging Camera. Matt emphasised the quality, price and ease of use of Testo products as the deciding factors.
