Enhancing process efficiency through improved temperature measurement 2 - Final Report

Original language description

The overall aim of the project was to enhance the efficiency of high value manufacturing processes by improving temperature measurement and control capabilities. Enhanced efficiency includes improved energy efficiency (and hence reduced emissions); improved product consistency (and hence reduced waste); increased sensor stability, reliability and longevity (and hence reduced operator intervention). All of the activities in the project were characterised by the implementation of traceability to the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) in-process. Such traceability is critical to establishing low measurement uncertainty, e.g. < 3 °C, and reproducible process control. The main developments were the extension of traceable phosphor thermometry to 750 °C and 2D imaging, and combination with thermal IR imaging to overcome the problem of emissivity and background reflections; impartial determination of the stability of dual-walled mineral insulated, metal-sheathed thermocouples compared with conventional ones, and characterisation of a reference function for new Pt-40%Rh/Pt-6%Rh thermocouples; use of a portable standard flame to enable creation of inexpensive flame imaging apparatus, and in-process reduction of uncertainty in temperature control of waste incineration; development of several types of fibre-optic thermometer for various applications in harsh environments which are not amenable to other more conventional temperature sensors. These outputs have been extensively demonstrated in industrial processes throughout Europe.
