A heat exchanger evaluation system ( 84 ) includes a refrigeration subsystem ( 126 ) and a platform ( 94 ) in communication with the subsystem ( 126 ) for attachment of a heat exchanger ( 32 ). The system, ( 84 ) further includes a thermal imaging camera ( 168 ) and a monitor ( 100 ). A method ( 180 ) entails routing a fluid ( 38 ) through the heat exchanger ( 32 ) via the refrigeration subsystem ( 126 ). The camera ( 168 ) detects the temperature variation across the heat exchanger ( 32 ) as the fluid ( 38 ) flows through the heat exchanger, and provides successive thermal images representing the temperature variation responsive to the flow of the fluid ( 38 ). The thermal images are utilized to determine an efficacy of the flow through the heat exchanger ( 32 ). In particular, a determination can be made as to whether the flow deviates from a pre-determined flow path ( 79 ) of the fluid ( 38 ) through the heat exchanger. |
