Multipoint Infrared Telemetry System for Measuring the Piston Temperature in Internal Combustion Engines

A high precision, high antijamming multipoint infrared telemetry system was developed to measure the piston temperature in internal combustion engine. The temperature at the measuring point is converted into corresponding voltage signal by the thermo-couple first. Then after the V/F stage, the voltage signal is converted into the frequency signal to drive the infrared light-emitting diode to transmit infrared pulses. At the receiver end, a photosensitive audion receives the infrared pulses. After conversion, the voltage recorded by the receiver stands for the magnitude of temperature at the measuring point. Test results of the system indicate that the system is practical and the system can perform multipoint looping temperature measurements for the piston.

Investigation on the plastic work-heat conversion coefficient of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy during an impact process based on infrared temperature measurement technology

The plastic work-heat conversion coefficient is one key parameter for studying the work-heat conversion under dynamic deformation of materials. To explore this coefficient of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy under dynamic compression, dynamic compression experiments using the Hopkinson bar under four groups of strain rates were conducted, and the temperature signals were measured by constructing a transient infrared temperature measurement system. According to stress versus strain data as well as the corresponding temperature data obtained through the experiments, the influences of the strain and the strain rate on the coefficient of plastic work converted to heat were analyzed.The experimental results show that the coefficient of plastic work converted to heat of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy is not a constant at the range of 0.85–1 and is closely related to the strain and the strain rate. The change of internal structure of material under high strain rate reduces its energy storage capacity, and makes almost all plastic work convert into heat.

Infrared measurement of temperature field in coal gas desorption

In order to reveal the temperature change in coal gas desorption process,the temperature variation in coal gas desorption process under different particle sizes is analyzed with infrared thermal imager.The infrared video signals obtained by the experiment are processed with SAT.Then the infrared radiation signals are processed by EMD with Hilbert–Huang and the infrared radiation noise is effectively removed.The research results show that the desorption process,with the change of the temperature,is an endothermic process.The coal absorbs heat when the gas is desorbed and the temperature drops.The coal body temperature drop range is obviously related to coal particle size.The smaller the particle size is,the bigger the temperature drop becomes.The temperature variation curves in the process of coal gas desorption under different particle sizes are fitted,and they comply with the exponential function.The research results lay the theoretical and experimental foundation for non-contact prediction on working face of coal and gas outburst with infrared thermal image technology.

Infrared radiation method for measuring ice segregation temperature of artificially frozen soils

In order to study the evolution of the freezing fringe and final lenses of frost susceptible soils and advance the understanding of frost heave and mechanism of frost heave control, we used an open one-dimensional frost heave test system of infrared radiation technology, instead of a traditional thermistor method. Temperatures of the freezing fringe and segregated ice were measured in a non-contact mode. The results show that accurate and precise temperatures of ice segregation can be obtained by infrared thermal imaging systems. A self-developed inversion program inverted the temperature field of frozen soils. Based on our analysis of temperature variation in segregated ice and our study of the relationship between temperature and rate of ice segregation in cooling and warming processes during intermittent freezing, the mechanism of decreasing frost heave of frozen soils by controlling the growth of final lenses with an intermittent freezing mode, can be explained properly.

Experimental study on the infrared precursor characteristics of gas-bearing coal failure under loading

The stress and gas pressure in deep coal seams are very high,and instability and failure rapidly and intensely occur.It is important to study the infrared precursor characteristics of gas-bearing coal instability and failure.In this paper,a self-developed stress-gas coupling failure infrared experimental system was used to analyse the infrared radiation temperature(IRT)and infrared thermal image precursor characteristics of gas-free coal and gas-bearing coal.The changes in the areas of the infrared temperature anomalous precursor regions and the effect of the gas on the infrared precursors were examined.The results show that high-temperature anomalous precursors arise mainly when the gas-free coal fails under loading,whereas the gas-bearing coal has high-temperature and low-temperature anomalous precursors.The area of the high-temperature anomalous precursor is approximately 30%–40%under gasbearing coal unstable failure,which is lower than the 60%–70%of the gas-free coal.The area of the low-temperature abnormal precursor is approximately 3%–6%,which is higher than the 1%–2%of the gas-free coal.With increasing gas pressure,the area of the high-temperature anomalous precursor gradually decreases,and the area of the low-temperature anomalous precursor gradually increases.The highand low-temperature anomalous precursors of gas-bearing coal are mainly caused by gas desorption,volume expansion,and thermal friction.The presence of gas inhibits the increase in IRT on the coal surface and increases the difficulty of infrared radiation(IR)monitoring and early warning for gas-bearing coal.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene)P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)is a relaxor ferroelectric polymer,which exhibits a temperature-independent electrocaloric effect at room temperature.In this work,the electrocaloric effect in P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)film was directly analysed using infrared imaging.P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)64.8%/27.4%/7.8%(in mole)film of(15±1)mm thickness was deposited on polyethylene naphthalate substrate.Direct ECE of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)film was measured from 15 to 35
C at different electric fields.A maximum adiabatic temperature change(DTad)of 3.58 K was measured during the cooling cycle at a field of 100 V/mm at 30
C.Finite element analysis of temperature dissipation through the sample estimated that the actual temperature change within P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)film was 4.3 K.Despite the thermal mass of the substrate,a substantial ECE was observed in P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)films.This electrocaloric terpolymer composition could be of interest for electrocaloric cooling applications.

An empirical method for improving accuracy of human eye temperature measured by uncooled infrared thermal imager

In order to reduce the temperature measurement error with the uncooled infrared thermal imager, experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of environment temperature and measurement distance on the measurement error of human eye temperature. First, the forehead temperature was used as an intermediate variable to obtain the actual temperature of human eyes. Then, the effects of environment temperature and measurement distance on the temperature measurement were separately analyzed. Finally, an empirical model was established to correlate actual eye temperature with the measured temperature, environment temperature, and measurement distance. To verify the formula, three different environment temperatures were tested at different distances. The measurement errors were substantially reduced using the empirical model for temperature correction. The results show that this method can effectively improve the accuracy of temperature measurement using the infrared thermal imager.

An Experimental System Development for Head Posture Estimation Based on 3-D Images Measurement

Although automobile is an indispensable vehicle to modern life, it also serves as a social problem with a big traffic accident. Among the reasons of traffic accidents, careless driving accounts for the largest part. So in order to avoid the careless driving, a system which can measure the posture of a driver and warns driver to drive carefully in the case of looking aside is necessary. Although the image measurement method is used broadly, there is a problem on which measurement accuracy is influenced by environment light, makeup of the driver, etc. in the general method based on the two-dimensional image. Therefore, in this study, we propose an image measurement method to obtain the head posture of driver. First we use three-dimensional measurement method which based on the infrared pattern projection to get 3-D information of head, and then we calculate the angle for faces. In this paper, we explain the composition method of an experiment system, and the results of head posture measurement experiment.

Satellitic thermal infrared brightness temperature anomaly image——short-term and impending earthquake precursors

Mechanism of satellitic thermo-infrared brightness temperature and temperature increasing is studied. Experiments are made with a gas sample taken around the epicenter area. The gas sample is proved to contain green house gases such as CH4 and CO2 which have increased by tens of thousands of times. In addition, lab research also proves that CH4 and CO2 can obtain energy under the action of transient electric field and release heat, thus resulting in a temperature increase of 2-6℃ . Also a brief account of practices since 1990 is given; altogether 40 short-term and impending earthquake predictions have been made, with 9 precise ones whose three main factors of an earthquake are clearly depicted, and 12 fairly good ones. These predictions include 3 earthquakes of Ms≥7, 4 of M8≥6.0 and the rest are around MS5.0. Yet there are earthquakes left out of prediction. Finally the evolutionary processing characters of satellitic thermo-infrared brightness temperature and temperature increase before the Lijiang earthquake on Feb. 3, 1996 and Tangshan earthquake on April 14, 1998 are introduced in detail. The conclusion makes a study on the regularities of connection among time, space and stress when there appears the satellitic thermal-infrared brightness temperature and temperature increasing anomaly.

Infrared Image Reconstruction Based on Archimedes Spiral Measurement Matrix

It is a new research direction to realize infrared(IR) image reconstruction using compressed sensing(CS) theory. In the field of CS, the construction of measurement matrix is very principal. At present, the types of measurement matrices are mainly random and deterministic. The random measurement matrix can well satisfy the property of measurement matrix, but needs a large amount of storage space and has an inconvenient in hardware implementation. Therefore, a deterministic measurement matrix construction method is proposed for IR image reconstruction in this paper. Firstly, a series of points are collected on Archimedes spiral to construct a definite sequence; then the initial measurement matrix is constructed; finally, the deterministic measurement matrix is obtained according to the required sampling rate. Simulation results show that the IR image could be reconstructed by the measured values obtained through the proposed measurement matrix. Moreover, the proposed measurement matrix has better reconstruction performance compared with the Gaussian and Bernoulli random measurement matrices.

Detection of Thermophysical Properties for High Strength Concrete after Exposure to High Temperature

Using the detection principle of infrared thermal imaging technique and the detection principle of DRH thermal conductivity tester laboratory,we investigated the infrared thermal image inspection,coefficient of thermal conductivity,apparent density,and compressive strength test on C80 high-strength concrete（HSC） in the presence and absence of polypropylene fibers under completely heated conditions.Only slight damages were detected below 400 ℃,whereas more and more severe deterioration events were expected when the temperature was above 500 ℃.The results show that the elevated temperature through infrared images generally exhibits an upward trend with increasing temperature,while the coefficient of thermal conductivity and apparent density decrease gradually.Additionally,the addition of polypropylene fibers with appropriate length,diameter,and quantity contributes to the improvement of the high-temperature resistance of HSC.

Body temperature is an important physiological indicator in the whole process of pig breeding.Temperature measurement is also an effective means to assist in disease diagnosis and pig health monitoring.In the conventional method of measuring body temperature,a mercury column is used to obtain the rectal temperature.The operation of thismethod is complicated and requires a large amount of labor.This kind of temperature measurement method is contact and canmake the pig stressed,which is disadvantageous for the healthy growth of pigs.Therefore,rectal temperaturemeasurement no longer meets the needs of the large-scale pig industry in China's welfare agriculture.In recent years,the emerging pig body temperature detection technologies are electronic temperaturemeasurement technology,infrared temperature measurement technology and so on.Infrared temperature measurement technology has been the main means of measuring the temperature of pig body surface with its advantages of non-contact,long distance and real-time.At present,infrared temperature measurement technology and infrared image processing technology used in pig breeding are still in the exploration stage.Nowadays,the infrared temperature measurement equipment based on point-by-point analysis represented by infrared thermometer and temperature measurement equipment based on full-field analysis represented by infrared thermal imager have been applied to pig breeding industry.These types of temperaturemeasurement are more in line with the needs of the pig breeding industry to transform and upgrade to the automation,in line with the development concept of welfare farming and smart agriculture,and its development prospects are very impressive.

基于水传热和红外热成像的煤矸识别方法

基于可见光图像的煤矸识别方法准确率不高、识别速度慢;基于高能射线透射的煤矸识别方法具有很大辐射导致较少应用。红外热成像具有穿透性强、不受光线影响等优点,但煤和矸石的表面温度在室温下相对接近,导致煤和矸石在红外热图像中没有明显差异,难以获得较好的识别效果。针对上述问题,提出了一种基于水传热和红外热成像的煤矸识别方法。在不同水温(18,21,24,27,30℃)条件下进行煤和矸石红外热成像实验,通过煤和矸石红外热图像和温度变化之间的差异来区分煤和矸石。实验结果表明:不同水温下煤和矸石红外热图像不同,当水温低于环境温度时,煤和矸石红外热图像之间的差异较大;在相同水温条件下,煤和矸石红外热图像之间的差异随着时间增加逐渐增大;煤和矸石表面温度变化均随水温升高和时间增加呈增大趋势,但矸石表面温度变化大于煤表面温度变化;当水温为18℃、时间为180 s时,煤和矸石红外热图像之间差异和温差均达到最大。这说明低温的水可作为一种传热介质,更有利于使煤和矸石之间产生较大的温差,从而实现煤和矸石红外热图像准确、快速识别。
