Book An Automated High Temperature Guarded Hot Plate Apparatus for Measuring Apparent Thermal Conductivity of Insulations Between 300 and 750 K

Download or read book An Automated High Temperature Guarded Hot Plate Apparatus for Measuring Apparent Thermal Conductivity of Insulations Between 300 and 750 K written by JG. Hust and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An automated guarded-hot-plate apparatus was designed and built to meet the requirements of ASTM standard test method C 177 for measuring the thermal transmission properties of thermal insulation. The apparatus is controlled by a scientific desktop computer. Measurements with this apparatus can be performed at temperatures from 300 to 750 K in environments of different gases at pressures ranging from atmospheric pressure to roughing-pump vacuum. A novel design for a thermocouple device is used; this device more accurately senses the average temperature over the surface of each heater plate. An improved algorithm for the control sequence provides more stable heater powers and specimen temperatures. Initially the algorithm brings the system rapidly to a temperature setpoint with minimal overshoot. It also permits highly sensitive control of the plate temperatures in later phases of the measurement sequence when thermal stability of the specimen boundaries is very important in measuring the thermal conductivity with high precision. Overall uncertainties of thermal conductivities at atmospheric pressure are 2% at 300 K and 3% at 750 K.

Book Automated Low Temperature Guarded Hot Plate for Measuring Apparent Conductivity

Download or read book Automated Low Temperature Guarded Hot Plate for Measuring Apparent Conductivity written by WP. Dube' and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guarded-hot-plate apparatus has been developed for measuring the apparent thermal conductivity of flat-slab thermal insulation materials at low temperatures. Relevant ranges of physical variables which can be accommodated (under different conditions) are: diameter, 203 mm (fixed); thickness, 5 to 30 mm; mean specimen temperatures, 100 to 400 K; temperature differences, 3 to 150 K; temperature gradients, 0.1 to 10 K/mm; and thermal resistance, 0.02 to 1.5 K.m2/W. Conductivity can be measured in dry air, gaseous nitrogen, helium, argon, or neon, or in vacuum. Apparent conductivity of an insulation material can be studied as a function of temperature, fill-gas pressure, or species, giving insight into the heat-transfer processes present in the material. Control of the main heater may be stabilized either at constant heater power or constant heater temperature. This apparatus will be useful in development of low-temperature Standard Reference Materials, and is being used to study heat transfer in closed-cell foam insulation containing HCFC blowing agents.

Book Intra Laboratory Comparison of a Line Heat Source Guarded Hot Plate and Heat Flow Meter Apparatus

Download or read book Intra Laboratory Comparison of a Line Heat Source Guarded Hot Plate and Heat Flow Meter Apparatus written by RR. Zarr and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apparent thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of several building insulations were determined at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) using three apparatus. Reference values were determined with NIST's 1-metre Line-Heat-Source Guarded Hot Plate (GHP). The other two apparatus were heat-flow-meter (HFM) apparatus calibrated with a Standard Reference Material of fibrous-glass board (138 kg/m3). The apparatus -- NIST's 1-metre GHP; the 610 mm HFM; and the 305 mm HFM -- were operated at a mean temperature of 24°C and temperature difference of 22°C across the thickness of the specimen. Measurements of thermal conductivity were determined for individual specimens nominally 25 mm thick, covering a range of thermal conductivity from 0.02 to 0.16 W/(m•K). The thermal resistance of thick specimens (1 to 7 m2•K/W) of cellular plastic, fibrous and loose-fill insulation was also determined. Deviations from reference values of the GHP were calculated for the HFM apparatus. For the 610 mm HFM, the majority of deviations were within ±3% of the GHP. Substantial improvement was achieved by calibrating the 305 mm HFM as a function of thickness; however, deviations ranged from +1.5 to +9.2% from the GHP. The apparatus, test procedure, and analysis of the deviations are described in the paper.
