A heatsink is a large experimental device which is used to simulate the outer space environment. In this paper, a Raman-based distributed temperature sensor was used for real-time and continuous heatsink temperature monitoring, and a special Raman-based distributed temperature sensing method and system have been proposed. This method takes advantage of three calibration parameters ( Δ α , γ , C ) to calculate the temperature. These three parameters are related to the attenuation of the optical fiber, the Raman translation, and the difference of optoelectronic conversion, respectively. Optical time domain reflectometry was used to calculate the location. A series of heatsink temperature measurement experiments were performed in a vacuum and −173 °C environment. When the temperature dropped to −100 °C, the parameter Δ α was found to vary. A method was proposed to recalculate Δ α and modify the traditional Raman fiber temperature equation. The results of the experiments confirmed the validity of this modified Raman fiber temperature equation. Based on this modified equation, the temperature field in the heatsink was calculated. The Raman-based distributed temperature sensor has potential applications in temperature measurement and judging the occurrence of faults in space exploration.

Spatial resolution is an important parameter that characterizes the detection capability of a system, and there are extremely high requirements for spatial resolution in important fields such as the fossil energy industry and nuclear industry. In order to realize the high-precision distributed monitoring of the optical fiber distributed temperature sensing system (DTS), the factors affecting the spatial resolution of the DTS system were analyzed, and a two-dimensional planar temperature field distribution monitoring scheme based on Raman distributed temperature sensor (RDTS) was proposed. In this scheme, based on the layout of the two-dimensional RDTS heat source positioning system, multimode fiber was adopted. After comparing several sensing fiber routing schemes, the 45∘ skew 2D wiring method of sensing fiber was finally selected. According to the experimental results, the spatial resolution of the temperature field distribution in the monitoring area can break through the limitation of the system resolution. It has more application value than the traditional one-dimensional distributed temperature sensing system.

Low-frequency electromagnetic casting (LFEC) processing could improve not only the metallurgical quality of magnesium billet including refining grain size, reducing regional microstructural difference and lightening segregation, but also its surface quality due to the effect of applied electromagnetic field according to the results by microstructure observation and the numerical simulation. In this research in-situ temperature measurement was carried out in LFEC processing in order to investigate heat transfer behavior of billet during solidification. The effects of the electromagnetic conditions (frequency and the intensity) together with the casting temperature on the sump and the mushy zone were investigated in detail. The results indicate that all the casting conditions affect the temperature field of magnesium billet markedly during solidification. Electromagnetic field could decrease not only the sump depth but also the difference of regional temperature field along the solidification direction leading to much more uniform cooling rate.

The field of tunnel fire detection requires a Raman distributed temperature sensor (RDTS) with high-accuracy and visual localization. A novel temperature demodulation method to improve the temperature measurement accuracy of the RDTS systems is presented. This method is based on the optical dynamic difference compensation algorithm, which can eliminate the optical power fluctuation. In addition, the visual localization technology is presented by using the longitudinal lining model (LLM) of a three-dimensional (3D) temperature display, which enhances the engineering application of RDTS in tunnel fire detection. Experimental results indicate that the temperature measurement accuracy is optimized from 7.0 °C to 1.9 °C at the sensing distance of 18.27 km by using the presented method. We provide a solution for temperature field monitoring as well as fire visual localization of the tunnel through RDTS systems.

In order to solve the problem of the hand module’s online temperature measurement in Nitrile glove production line process, we have developed a set of moving objects or device used for online temperature measurement. The device is mounted infrared temperature sensor, by using PLC-controlled synchronous tracking technology it can track the hand module in the production line, so it can ensure the infrared temperature sensor and hand module synchronously measure its temperature correctly. By using configuration software kingview, we have developed mold temperature monitoring online measurement interface, real-time monitoring of the mold temperature opponents. After analysis of experimental results we concluded that the device work stable, acquisition of temperature reliably, so it has a promotional value.
