Pyrometric determination of radiance and/ or temperature

Номер: GB0002358059A
Принадлежит:

A method for determining the radiance and/ or temperature of a rotating object such as a turbine blade B comprises determining the reflectivity of the object B under low-temperature conditions where the object is non-emissive, the radiance of the blade under high temperature conditions and measuring the intensity of incident radiation from external sources such as a combustor C. The radiance measurement may be corrected for reflected radiation by a factor depending on the reflectivity and the incident radiation intensity. A minimum-picking process may be used on the resulting data to reduce the effects of flare. The apparatus may comprise a retractable probe P which rotates about an axis A1. The incident radiation and the radiance of the object may be monitored by two separate detectors D2, D1, or alternatively, by a common pyrometer system (figure 2).

Noncontact temperature measuring device

Номер: GB0002107862A
Принадлежит:

A portable, battery operated noncontact temperature measuring device including a lens for collecting infrared radiation and a thermopile for producing a signal indicative of the intensity thereof. The thermopile signal is amplified, linearized and summed with an ambient temperature signal derived from a temperature responsive element, e.g. a diode chip mounted immediately adjacent a cold junction of the thermopile. The resulting composite temperature signal is then processed and displayed. The ambient temperature signal is also utilized to control the impedance of a dual field effect transistor, which in turn controls the gain of the amplifier. Thus, temperature induced variations in the responsivity of the thermopile are compensated by corresponding changes in the gain of the amplifier. An adjustable high impedance bias circuit provides bias current to the input of the amplifier, insuring that the signal at the output of the amplifier will not be affected by temperature induced changes ...
