WHAT’S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXERGEN AND THE SNAKE?

HISTORY OF INFRARED: 

HISTORY OF INFRARED All objects emit infrared energy, at temperatures above absolute zero (-273°C, -460°F) Sir William Herschel discovered infrared radiation by measuring the temperature of various colors separated by a prism. Herschel accidentally placed his thermometer below the red region, and noted a further increase in temperature. Herschel called this invisible light, infrared, which means below red.

DEMONSTRATION OF RESPONSE TIME

INFRARED THEORY: 

INFRARED THEORY Infrared radiation obeys many of the laws that apply to light When infrared energy strikes an object it may be reflected from that surface, transmitted through the surface, or absorbed into that surface The sum of the reflectivity plus absorptivity plus transmisivity equals one (1 =r+a+t) When an object is at thermal equilibrium, the amount of absorption is equal to the the amount of emission (a=e)

UNDERSTANDING EMISSIVITY: 

UNDERSTANDING EMISSIVITY Emissivity characterizes an object’s ability to emit radiation Objects with high emissivity radiate well Objects with low emissivity radiate poorly

Emissivity – Mathematically: 

Emissivity – Mathematically Definition - amount of energy an object emits compared to that of a black body at the same wavelength and temperature. e = real object emitted energy blackbody emitted energy Emissivity values range from 0 to 1

Installation Tips: 

Installation Tips Always use low leakage current input devices, < 10 nA is recommended Sufficient OFFSET and GAIN adjustments are required in input devices to calibrate for leakage current and emissivity Wire like any conventional t/c (RED is always negative) Use air purged units for dirty and/or high ambient environments Best accuracy when the IRt/c is installed perpendicular and as close to the target as possible, with the spot size smaller than target Use shielded units in high electrical noise areas

Potential Errors Caused By Ambient Temperature Effects: 

Potential Errors Caused By Ambient Temperature Effects If the ambient temperature of a control installation changes significantly, there are several sources of potential inaccuracies that can be minimized by attention to installation details Reflective errors – When the IRt/c is the same temperature as ambient sources, the design will compensate for reflected errors and maintain accuracy. If the radiant energy is too hot for an uncooled IRt/c, reflective errors can be minimized by avoiding viewing angles in which the surface can reflect a hot source. Leakage current effects – For installations in which the readout generates large amounts of leakage current, there is potential inaccuracy due to small shifts in IRt/c impedance with ambient temperature. Always select the input devices with the lowest leakage current available.

What to look for when testing: 

What to look for when testing OPEN CIRCUIT – Impedance > 15 kohms indicates a broken wire and open circuit detection will detect it NO RESPONSE TO THERMAL RADIATION – Sensor is shorted, and will only read ambient temperature SENSOR READS LOW – Either the lens is dirty or the sensor has a gas leak.

Common Pitfalls: 

Common Pitfalls Behaves like a conventional t/c over wide range Spot size is too large Sensor is not aligned correctly Lens is dirty Ambient temperature limit exceeded Emissivity of target changes during the process Induced noise/RFI Input devices with high leakage current will measure high at ambient, and need offsets

Summary: 

Summary The IRt/c has subtle features that make a significant improvement over conventional IR In place calibration is always recommended due to uncertainties in emissivity and ambient temperature For OEM and multiple same use applications, the same model IRt/c can be substituted without the necessity of recalibration With the IRt/c’s specified useable linear range per model, the user is not lead into believing the measurement is accurate over wide temperature ranges
