Abstract: Infrared thermography has emerged, over the past few years, as an attractive and reliable technique of non-destructive testing in cases such as testing different materials and monitoring the operation of complex systems. The paper presents the possibilities of wide application of infrared thermography for monitoring the operation of diesel engines. A quantitative analysis of the temperature of parts of the engine made of different materials was carried out during the operation of the open four-stroke diesel six-cylinder V-engine with air-cooled.

Keywords: pulsed thermography, non-destructive testing, infrared thermography, diesel engine.
