[Development of multi-spectral thermometer for explosion flame true temperature measurement]

Area of Science:

• Instrumentation and Measurement
• Spectroscopy
• Explosion Science

Context:

• Measuring high-temperature phenomena in explosive environments presents significant safety and technical challenges.
• Traditional temperature measurement methods are often inadequate for the dynamic and hazardous nature of explosions.
• The need for real-time, accurate thermal data in explosions is critical for safety and analysis.

Purpose:

• To develop and present a novel multi-target, multi-spectral thermometer designed for use in large explosive environments.
• To enable simultaneous measurement of explosion flame radiation across multiple spectra.
• To accurately determine the true temperature and emissivity of explosion flames.

Summary:

• A multi-target, multi-spectral thermometer was engineered for explosive environments, collecting radiation energy via a prism spectrometer.
• It employs a second measurement method to calculate true temperature and emissivity of explosion flames.
• Innovative fiber-optic long-distance transmission and coupling techniques enhance anti-vibration, anti-explosion, and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities.
• High-speed acquisition and multi-stage amplification systems facilitate instantaneous collection of rapidly changing flame temperatures.
• Wireless long-distance transmission ensures personnel safety during data collection.

Impact:

• Provides unprecedented real-time thermal diagnostics for explosion events.
• Enhances safety protocols by enabling remote monitoring of hazardous conditions.
• Advances the understanding of explosion dynamics through accurate temperature and emissivity data.
• Offers a robust solution for high-temperature, high-vibration, and electromagnetically noisy environments.
