Abstract: A process is provided for estimating temperatures in an enclosure during a combustion process. An association is determined between an intensity of an image pixel of a field of view (FOV) generated by an image-capturing device, a temperature measurement, and device settings of the image-capturing device. An on-line intensity-temperature calibration is performed based on the association between the intensity of the image pixel and the corresponding temperature in the FOV in the enclosure. The intensity of the corresponding image is transformed to the temperature based on intensity-temperature calibration related to the device settings of the image-capturing device. Using a computer processor, the need for maintenance of the image-capturing device is determined based on degradation of the intensity-temperature calibration.

Abstract: An improved net radiometer that measures the total net difference between incoming solar and surface reflected radiant short-wave solar energy flux, and inclusive of the down and upwelling long-wave infrared terrestrial radiant energy flux, within the combined short-wave and long-wave far infrared spectral range is disclosed. Disclosed are net radiometers with thermal absorbers structured to reduce wind sensitivity while maintaining or improving response time. Also disclosed are net radiometers that are configured in a novel way to reduce moisture and water accumulation on the thermal absorber surfaces. In addition, net radiometers are disclosed where the components are configured and thermal absorber structured to reduce unit-to-unit inconsistencies and minimize absorber sensitivity asymmetry effect between the upper and lower instrument absorbers.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve an apparatus and method to measure the long-wave irradiance of the atmosphere or long-wave source. The apparatus may involve a thermopile, a concentrator and temperature controller. The incoming long-wave irradiance may be reflected from the concentrator to a thermopile receiver located at the bottom of the concentrator to receive the reflected long-wave irradiance. In addition, the thermopile may be thermally connected to a temperature controller to control the device temperature. Through use of the apparatus, the long-wave irradiance of the atmosphere may be calculated from several measurements provided by the apparatus. In addition, the apparatus may provide an international standard of pyrgeometers' calibration that is traceable back to the International System of Units (SI) rather than to a blackbody atmospheric simulator.
