Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applications of Thermography for Energy Conservation in Industry In addition to the qualitative survey, quantitative data was gathered by calibrating the temperature of the hot spots uncovered in the survey. These hot spots result from problems in the basic insulation design, flaws in the insulation and maintenance errors. However, many hot spots indicated malfunctions in the equipment such as leaking valves, leaking electrical components, failures in materials and components in invisible areas of the equipment, overheated bearings, etc. This information was very useful in developing priorities and estimating the magnitude of the heat loss due to a given defect. This approach applies the standard calibration methodology developed by equipment manufacturers for quantitative determinations of surface temperatures. Examples of this approach are featured-ih this report. A third technique has been explored with high energy consuming equipment such as furnaces. Here, the IR scan was used to survey the entire radiating surface of a furnace. Thermal mapping was combined with area measurements to determine total radiation heat losses. This information was then used as input data for a heat balance on the furnace. One experiment has indicated that approximately 30% of the heat consumed by the furnace is being lost from the surfaces by radiation. Further work is planned in this area to develop the method and will be reported in a later publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared thermography has been developed as a tool to measure the temperature of various types of surfaces. Notable applications include thermal detection of buildings to detect heat losses. It was the intent of the NBS IR program to build on these technologies to assist energy conservation engineers to assess heat losses in industrial plants. Our intent in this project was to survey furnaces and heating systems in addition to electrical and mechanical systems to find areas suggesting energy conserving actions. This survey method described in this paper was carried out in fifteen industrial plants to develop a methodology and examine the feasibility of the approach. In addition to the qualitative survey quantitative data was gathered by calibrating the temperature of the 11 hot spots uncovered in the survey. This information was very useful in developing priorities and estimating the magnitude of the heat loss due to a given defect.

Download or read book Elements of Thermography for Nondestructive Testing Classic Reprint written by Julius Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Thermography for Nondestructive Testing Thermography, the process whereby the invisible infrared thermal radiation from an object or a scene is rendered into a visible image, is known mainly for its military surveillance and remote-sensing applications. Nevertheless, thermography has great value also in a variety of non-military applications, and is being exploited in agriculture, geology, environmental control, meteorology, medicine, energy conservation, building, and manufacturing industry. In par ticular, its importance in industry for plant preventive maintenance, process control, quality control, and nondestructive testing has been recognized with the recent establishment of several independent working groups in thermography by different professional societies such as astm, asnt, and spie. This is intended to be a tutorial paper in thermography, espe cially as it relates to nondestructive testing, for program managers and scientists who are unfamiliar with thermal imaging systems and techniques, and who also may not have a background in infrared physics and technology. The material offered herein gives a simple, broad, and mainly qualitative overview which should help the reader to adjudicate the feasibility of applying thermography for his specific purpose. Notwithstanding, thermography is a highly sophis ticated and complex subject, and readers who wish to delve into the theory and the design of thermal imaging systems are referred to the books listed in the bibliography section. The bibliography includes also a listing of periodicals and reports dealing with applications of thermography to nondestructive testing.

This book was released on 2012-08-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contact, non-invasive methodology which allows for detection of thermal energy that is radiated from objects in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum, for conversion of such energy into a visible image (such as a surface temperature map). This feature represents a great potential to be exploited in a vast variety of fields from aerospace to civil engineering, to medicine, to agriculture, etc. However, IRT is still not adequately enclosed in industrial instrumentation and there are still potential users who might benefit from the use of such a technique and who are not aware of their existence. This e-book conveys information about basic IRT theory, infrared detectors, signal digitalization and applications of infrared thermography in many fields such as medicine, foodstuff conservation, fluid-dynamics, architecture, anthropology, condition monitoring, non destructive testing and evaluation of materials and structures. The volume promotes an exchange of information between the academic world and industry, and shares methodologies which were independently developed and applied in specific disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Places are locations of value where psychological and cultural needs are satisfied. Human relationships with particular environments play a key role in motivating, developing, and nurturing the life of societies. Undifferentiated space becomes ‘place’ as we understand it better and its built and natural forms become endowed with value. However, misunderstanding the critical importance of heritage locations, particularly based on rejection of local and regional distinctiveness, has often led to their destruction. Featuring essays from across central Europe and beyond, and aimed at practitioners, decision makers and concerned citizens alike, this book raises awareness about the responsibility that we bear for every action taken that modifies the formal and socio-cultural context. Potentially, these actions can negatively impact the cultural landscape. Learning to recognize the essential value of heritage to the ‘place-ness’ of our cities and landscapes is vital in helping us to preserve and enjoy their intrinsic beauty and cultural importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical science and engineering affect almost every aspect of our lives. Millions of miles of optical fiber carry voice and data signals around the world. Lasers are used in surgery of the retina, kidneys, and heart. New high-efficiency light sources promise dramatic reductions in electricity consumption. Night-vision equipment and satellite surveillance are changing how wars are fought. Industry uses optical methods in everything from the production of computer chips to the construction of tunnels. Harnessing Light surveys this multitude of applications, as well as the status of the optics industry and of research and education in optics, and identifies actions that could enhance the field's contributions to society and facilitate its continued technical development.
