Thermal imaging assembly

A thermal imaging apparatus comprising;

• a housing defining first and second internal chambers spaced along a longitudinal axis of the thermal imaging apparatus, the housing comprising a front wall having a first aperture extending therethrough, a rear wall spaced from the front wall, side walls that connect the front and rear walls, and an internal wall that separates the first and second internal chambers, the internal wall having a second aperture extending therethrough;
• a thermal imaging camera mounted within the second internal chamber of the housing, the thermal imaging camera comprising a lens that is aligned with the first and second apertures and that extends into the first internal chamber via the second aperture for cleaning purposes;
• a gas injection portion connected to the first internal chamber, the gas injection portion comprising a first gas intake channel configured to direct gas into the first internal chamber and across the lens of the thermal imaging camera;
• and
• a fluid injection portion connected to the first internal chamber, the fluid injection portion comprising a fluid intake channel configured to direct fluid towards the lens of the thermal imaging camera to clean the lens.
