The influence of furnace wall emissivity on steel charge heating

Radiation heat transfer is one of the most important heat transfer modes in high-temperature applications. It is a strongly non-linear process, which depends on the temperature and emissivity of heat exchange surfaces, their geometrical configuration and properties of the surrounding atmosphere. Heat exchange intensity between the surfaces depends mainly on their temperature differences. However, their emissivities influence significantly the radiation heat transfer process as well. Emissivity is a function of surface state or atmospheric chemical reactions, temperature and wavelengths. Because of these non-linearities, it is very complicated to evaluate such a real problem by numerical simulation, and experimental work seems to be the most reliable evaluation procedure. We applied special high-temperature coatings of different emissivities on furnace walls to evaluate the dependence between the furnace wall emissivity and steel charge heating. The emissivity analyses of the coatings used and emissivity measurement results in dependence on wavelength are presented in this paper. The dependence of the charge heating on the furnace wall emissivity, the importance of emissivity wavelength dependence and significant differences of the emissivity effect in electrical and gas heated furnaces are shown. The possible consequences and practical benefits are also discussed in this paper.     

A3铁、304钢和201钢光谱发射率

随着科学技术日新月异的发展,红外测量技术在遥感、辐射测温、红外隐身、农业、医疗等领域都展现出了重要的应用前景。在花样众多的辐射测量中,材料的发射率是重要的参数之一。为满足材料发射率数据的需求,根据一套自主研制的光谱发射率测量装置对A3铁、304钢以及201钢在不同温度下的光谱发射率进行了精确的测量,并对影响发射率的几个因素做了深入的探究。结果显示：这三种钢材的发射率随温度升高而变大,同等温度下A3铁的发射率要高于304钢和201钢,且材料中的铬含量会降低材料的发射率值。采用XRD分析了三种材料表面氧化后的成分,并探讨了表面成分变化对发射率的影响。结果表明：A3铁氧化后生成不稳定的四氧化三铁Fe₃O₄和氧化亚铁FeO,各种成分的相互转变会导致光谱发射率发生较大的变化,而304钢和201钢表面氧化后主要生成氧化铬,因而光谱发射率也相对比较稳定。另外使用辐射光叠加原理和Christiansen效应成功解释了三种材料的发射率在大约10 μm处出现极大值的现象。该研究极大地丰富了三种材料的光谱发射率数据,为辐射测量技术在三种材料中的应用提供了强有力的数据支撑。     

基于发射率模型约束的多光谱辐射真温反演法

温度测量是工业生产或科学实验中保证产品质量、降低生产成本和确保实验安全的重要因素之一。目前非接触的测温方法以辐射测温法为主,二次测量法是多光谱辐射测温中一种常用的方法。但是,二次测量法不适用于实时数据处理。针对此问题,基于多光谱亮度温度数学模型引入了发射率模型约束条件,提出了一种多光谱辐射真温快速反演法。对于非黑体,根据不同波长下的亮度温度的关系,得出当亮度温度在一个区间内是增函数或者常数函数时,发射率在该区间内是增函数;当亮度温度在一个区间内是减函数时,则发射率在该区间内满足一个关于发射率和波长的不等式。该发射率模型约束条件根据亮度温度的信息,将发射率假设值的构建由多类减少到一类,避免了不必要的发射率的构建。实验分别采用实际发射率随波长单调下降、单调上升、先下降再上升、先上升再下降和随机变化的具有代表性的五个被测目标,针对两个被测温度点进行了仿真对比分析。结果表明,与二次测量法相比,对于同一个被测目标,在相同的温度初值和相同的发射率搜索范围下,新算法在保证精度的情况下,不仅所得结果相同,而且处理速度提升了19.16%～43.45%。     

基于红外光谱的含氧化皮热态锻件温度检测方法

针对大型热态锻件在锻造过程中表面有较厚的氧化皮包裹,导致测温数据存在较大的误差,提出了一种基于红外光谱的测温方法,能有效的消除氧化皮层对测温的影响。该方法通过接收锻件氧化皮表面辐射的红外光谱直接测量氧化皮表面的温度和发射率,然后利用热交换公式推导求出被氧化皮覆盖的热态锻件真实温度。为了更好的抑制接收的红外光谱中各种干扰光谱的透过,提出了三级干涉滤光系统,并利用光谱仿真获得一组最优间隙参数值,提高了测温精度。实验结果表明,该测温方法能够准确测出覆盖有氧化皮高温锻件表面的温度,满足测温精度要求,验证了该测温方法的可行性。     

Infrared technique for simultaneous determination of temperature and emissivity

This paper presents, in the context of materials dynamic behaviour study, a method for simultaneous measurement of the temperature and emissivity of a solid’s surface, by the use of infrared radiation. In contrast to existing methods, this method has no need for a pre-measurement of the surface emissivity. The emissivity and the temperature are measured simultaneously, by detecting the variations of emitted radiation and infrared radiation reflecting on the surface, at two different spectral zones. In this way, the accuracy of the measured temperature is greatly improved in cases were the surface optical properties vary during the measurement. Several experiments were carried out in order to complete the theoretical foundation of the method and to outline its accuracy and some of its limitations. There are various industrial applications of this method, for example the control of the temperature of the mechanical parts during work machining. One of them may be the measurement of the temperature of a sample during mechanical testing. An application of the method is proposed, that is easy to employ with non-sophisticated infrared and optical components. The results confirm the accuracy of the proposed method with an order of 3% of precision for temperature determination.     

非朗伯体红外测温计算研究

根据红外辐射理论和红外热像仪的测温原理,建立了红外热像仪测温的通用数学模型;基于物体表面法向发射率的特点,简化了热像仪测温的数学模型,得到了红外热像仪测温的计算公式。通过相关实验,验证了在一定的温度范围内,物体的发射率和反射率之和基本保持不变这一结论。物体的发射率与反射率之和a与物体种类、表面状况及物体温度有关。物体与朗伯体越接近,a越大,其值越接近于1;物体表面状况偏离朗伯体越远,表面越光滑,越小。实验表明,若物体接近朗伯体,则可将其视为朗伯体,无需进行实际物体修正;对于非朗伯体(特别是表面光滑且发射率较低的物体),需要对其红外测温进行修正,否则将增大测温误差,甚至偏离其真实温度很远。该研究表明,通过修正,可以对非朗伯体进行红外测温。     

Surface temperature measurement of the plasma facing components with the multi-spectral infrared thermography diagnostics in tokamaks

For the long-pulse high-confinement discharges in tokamaks, the equilibrium of plasma requires a contact with the first wall materials. The heat flux resulting from this interaction is of the order of 10 MW/m² for steady state conditions and up to 20 MW/m² for transient phases. The monitoring on surface temperatures of the plasma facing components (PFCs) is a major concern to ensure safe operation and to optimize performances of experimental operations on large fusion facilities. Furthermore, this measurement is also required to study the physics associated to the plasma material interactions and the heat flux deposition process. In tokamaks, infrared (IR) thermography systems are routinely used to monitor the surface temperature of the PFCs. This measurement requires an accurate knowledge of the surface emissivity. However, and particularly for metallic materials such as tungsten, this emissivity value can vary over a wide range with both the surface condition and the temperature itself, which makes instantaneous measurement challenging. In this context, the multi-spectral infrared method appears as a very promising alternative solution. Indeed, the system has the advantage to carry out a non-intrusive measurement on thermal radiation while evaluating surface temperature without requiring a mandatory surface emissivity measurement.In this paper, a conceptual design for the multi-spectral infrared thermography is proposed. The numerical study of the multi-channel system based on the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) nonlinear curve fitting is applied. The numerical results presented in this paper demonstrate the design allows for measurements over a large temperature range with a relative error of less than 10%. Furthermore, laboratory experiments have been performed from 200 °C to 740 °C to confirm the feasibility for temperature measurements on stainless steel and tungsten. In these experiments, the unfolding results from the multi-channel detection provide good performance on temperature measurement, which supports our numerical evaluation and demonstrates the potential feasibility for metallic surface high temperature measurement with this method.     

Temperature measurement by infrared pyrometry

Abstract

We describe an experimental measurement technique which pérmits to evaluate the free surface temperature of a shock loaded metallic sample. The radiative infrared emission is collected by ZnSe lens and carried over from the firing chamber to the HgCdTe detectors by a fluroride glass optical fiber. In order to deduce the temperature from the electrical signals amplified and recorded on a numerical oscilloscope, we use two narrow filter channels with different wavelength bandwidths associated with static calibration of the detectors by means of a continuously heated black body. Different ratios between static and dynamic measurements give the access to the temperature as well as the emissivity of the free surface.     

基于光谱响应定标的辐射测温方法

辐射测温是通过测量物体发出的辐射来反演温度,辐射测量方程中含有与空间位置相关的非光谱参数,通常需通过辐射标定予以确认。而该研究将非光谱参数归入有限项级数形式的光谱发射率中,这既不会影响多通道测温方程组的封闭性,又不会影响真温求解,从而在无需测量数据归一化的条件下,实现了无需空间位置标定的辐射测温,该方法仅需要标定仪器的绝对光谱响应或相对光谱响应,但不能解得发射率。以两个特例分别对多波长测温方法和多谱段测温方法的求解特性进行了研究。结果表明：对于任意的测量矢量,有效波长不相同的多波长测温唯一解是存在的;而多谱段测温时,存在无解区域,双解直线,甚至可能存在三解直线。

光谱发射率是表征材料热物理性能的重要参数。对于非导电材料的高温光谱发射率测试,一般采用高温加热炉加热或辐射加热的方式来进行发射率测试,存在的问题是采用高温石墨炉加热时,样品可能会与高温石墨发生化学反应,从而破坏材料原有物性;采用辐射加热,一般是单向静止加热,会存在样品温场梯度非均匀分布的问题。基于激光旋转加热和样品/黑体整体一体化设计,提出了一种“样品动中测”的非导电材料高温光谱发射率测试新方法,建立了相应的测量模型,突破了传统的 “样品静中测”的局限,样品与参考黑体共形一体化设计,采用微区域光谱辐射成像方法,同时测量参考黑体和样品的光谱辐射能量与温度。建立了激光旋转加热状态下的热传导方程,对典型样品材料的温度分布进行了仿真计算,结果表明旋转样品温场分布较为均匀,分析了温场分布与红外光谱发射率测量误差间的关系,给出了适用于本测试方法的材料的热导率下限值。基于该方法,搭建了相应的测量装置,对典型材料碳化硅在1 000 K时的光谱发射率进行了测试,在4 μm处对各个典型高温温度点的光谱发射率进行了测试,得到了碳化硅材料在红外波段的光谱发射率波长变化和温度变化规律特性。与国外的测量结果进行了比对,结果较为一致,验证了激光旋转加热光谱发射率测试方法的可行性。采用此方法,不破坏样品本身的理化特性,样品加热升温速度快,测量温度范围上限高,有效减小了激光静止单向加热带来的温度不均匀性,可同时测量出样品和参考黑体的光谱辐射亮度及温度,无需另外再设计标准高温黑体,解决了现有非导电材料高温光谱发射率测试中非均匀加热和辐射能量同步比对测量的问题,可应用于多种非导电材料高温光谱发射率的测试。     

Improvement of building wall surface temperature measurements by infrared thermography

By using quantitative thermal scanning of building surface structures, it is possible to access the temperature field. For further calculation of the heat flux exchanged by these structures with the environment, one must quantify as finely as possible the temperature field on the bodies surfaces. For this purpose we have to take into account that real bodies are not black, which implies that a part of the ambient radiation received by the infrared camera detectors is reflected radiation. In this paper, we present a method to quantify the reflected flux by using an infrared mirror, which allows large surface temperature measurements by infrared thermography under near-ambient conditions with improved accuracy. In order to validate the method, an experimental study was carried out on a multi-layer wall, which simulated an insulation default. A good agreement was noticed between the thermocouple temperatures and the infrared corrected ones. Then, the method is applied to outdoor measurements.

超光谱红外卫星资料同步反演不同地表类型的大气廓线、地表温度和地表发射率

大气温度、水汽、地表温度和地表发射率是大气和地表的本征信息量。利用卫星红外资料精确反演大气温湿廓线有利于准确预报天气和研究气候变化,同时地表温度和地表发射率光谱的反演为研究植物生长与作物产量、地表水分蒸发与循环、能量平衡、地表成分及物理性质、气候变迁与全球环境提供重要参数指标。把大气和地面作为一个整体系统来考虑,建立一种能同步反演大气温度廓线、大气水汽廓线、地表温度和地表发射率的反演方法,利用超光谱红外卫星资料(atmospheric infrared sounder, AIRS),针对我国新疆地区沙漠和雪地两种典型发射率地表同步反演大气温度廓线、水汽廓线、地表温度和地表发射率。反演方法首先线性化地球-大气系统红外辐射传输方程, 提出通过经验正交函数构建大气廓线和地表发射率光谱,有效减少反演变量数,建立同步物理反演模式,然后以美国国家环境预报中心(National Centers for Environmental Prediction,NCEP)的预报结果(初始大气温度、水汽廓线以及地表参数)作为初始值,最后通过牛顿迭代得到最优化解。反演观测区域覆盖我国新疆塔克拉玛干沙漠和准噶尔盆地,分别选择位于塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地的塔中探测站(纬度38.98°, 经度83.64°)和准噶尔盆地的阜康荒漠生态系统国家野外科学观测研究站(纬度44.2°, 经度87.9° )为反演地面验证点。反演结果表明,塔克拉玛干沙漠地表温度明显高于准噶尔盆地地表温度,与实际情况相一致;根据反演的8.6和13.4 μm处的地表发射率分布情况,可以看出在8.6 μm处沙漠地表发射率明显低于雪地发射率,在6～15 μm范围内,反演的沙漠地区(塔中站)地表发射率和雪地地区(阜康站)地表发射率与美国喷气推进实验室测量的沙漠发射率光谱和雪地发射率光谱相一致。研究表明,把大气和地面作为一个整体系统来考虑,把地表发射率加入到反演中,通过比较和分析沙漠地区(塔中)和雪地地区(阜康)的大气廓线反演结果与当地气象探空值和传统反演方法反演值,改进了大气温度廓线和水汽廓线反演精度,特别是边界层温度和水汽改进尤为明显;同时分析表明在发射率光谱变化较大的沙漠地区, 大气廓线反演精度的改进比雪地要高,这是由于地表发射率光谱在沙漠、戈壁地区变化较大,而雪地的发射率光谱变化不大。用该方法针对地表发射率光谱变化较大的地区(沙漠)同步反演大气廓线、地表温度和地表发射率,可以更有效的提高大气温度廓线、水汽廓线的反演精度。该研究结果可以为数值天气预报和我国未来超光谱红外卫星应用提供服务和有力支持, 具有十分重要的意义。     

发射率限定辐射测温原理

辐射测温技术随着辐射测量传感器技术的进步而不断进步,已经由单波长测温发展到多波长和多波段测温,由点温测量发展到二维甚至三维温度场测量。但是在辐射测温更精确反演方面,却很难克服因发射率未知性而引起的模型构建误差。发射率行为难以确定并极大地影响了测温精度,急需发展一种具有通用性,不受发射率具体行为限制,具有较高稳定性的辐射测温方法。双波长测温适用于发射率具有灰体行为的物体温度测量,一系列的发射率补偿算法和波长选择方法均未能很好地实现通用性测量,往往直接单色测量可能误差比比色法更小。多波长测温得到广泛应用,但并不是波长越多越好,发射率模型仍然具有较大局限性。提出了发射率直接限定算法和发射率松驰限定算法来反演温度。在发射率限定条件相同时,这两种方法是等价的。发射率松驰限定算法基于最小二乘算法和松驰因子进行真温求解。推导了松驰限定法的误差传递公式,发现在保证测量信号强度的前提下,λT越小温度误差越小;发射率行为对温度相对误差具有重要影响,在相同的λT条件下,发射率随波长变化越大,在限定区间上覆盖越均匀,测量误差越小。但从直接限定算法可以看出所测波长数越多,测量误差越小。两种方法均可以看出,减少限定区间长度也可以显著地提高测量精度。     

Spectral emissivity modeling of steel 201 during the growth of oxidation film over the temperature range from 800 to 1100 K in air

This study explores the spectral emissivity modeling of steel 201 during the growth of oxidation film over the temperature range from 800 to 1100 K at 1.5 μm. The radiance coming from the specimen is received by an InGaAs photodiode detector. The specimen temperature is obtained by averaging the two platinum–rhodium thermocouples, which are tightly welded in the front surface of specimen near the measuring area viewed by the detector. The variation of spectral emissivity with the temperature is studied at a given heating time. The variation of spectral emissivity with the heating time is evaluated at a definite temperature. The strong oscillations of spectral emissivity are observed and discussed in detail, which originate from the interference effect between the radiation stemming from the oxidization film on the specimen surface and the radiation coming from the specimen surface. The measurement uncertainties of spectral emissivity contributed only by the surface oxidization are about 3.2–14.1%. At a given heating time, the variation of spectral emissivity with the temperature abides well by a simple analytic functional form. And at a definite temperature, the variation of spectral emissivity with the heating time can also be well reproduced by fitting except for the periodical oscillations.
