Thermocon
Instrument for measuring temperature and data collection
We have developed an instrument for data collection, called Thermocon, in order to mainly register the thermo-handling process of the wood and to prepare a control document on the fulfilment of the regulations fixed by the standard on thermo-handling of FAO IPPC ISPM 15. By this instrument, applied together with the other instruments and controllers produced by Smartronics.hu Co.Ltd, the climate of the drying chambers and the characteristics of the wood (e.g. EMC, gradient, relative moisture content, moisture of wood) regarding the drying and thermo-handling processes can be controlled. For the controlling authorities we can guarantee and prove the fair control of all the processes by this device.
The device measures the temperature of the wood by 6 probes and the temperature of the drying chamber?s air by 2 probes. The registration starts automatically, on the basis of three optional conditions. During the registration the device can display the average temperature measured, the minimum and maximum temperature of wood and the values of the probes of the minimum and maximum temperature in the measuring cycle. The time of registration can be programmed, after this time the logging of data automatically stops. The log itself is prepared by an internal EEPROM (with a capacity of 2000 measuring lines) and by a clock with a sampling per 4 seconds. The logged data cannot be changed. The heading of the log contains the starting time of the registration, its duration and some other information given by the user.
Downloading of registered data can happen in different ways
- By direct connection to PC
- By downloading of data to storage unit and after with connection to PC or printer
- By help of a GSM BASE unit, through GSM connection to a distant PC
We have a separate PC program for graphically anylizing and printing the data:
