A thermal imaging apparatus comprising; a housing with a front wall having a first aperture extending therethrough, a rear wall spaced from the front wall, side walls connecting the front and rear walls; a thermal imaging camera mounted within the internal chamber of the housing, a camera lens aligned with the first aperture; and a fluid injection portion connected to the internal chamber that directs fluid towards the lens to clean the lens. Alternatively the housing defines first and second internal chambers spaced along a longitudinal axis of the apparatus separated by an internal wall comprising a second aperture extending therethrough; where the thermal imaging camera is mounted within the second internal chamber, with the camera lens aligned with the two apertures. Gas and fluid injection portions are connected to the first internal chamber to direct gas into the first chamber; and fluid towards the lens to clean the lens.
