General information
- Short Summary
-
A team of inventors from an established Slovak scientific and research institutions has developed a new measuring device for measuring dynamic temperature changes in cylindrical grinding chambers.
The preferred cooperation type are commercial agreement or investment agreement. - Full Description
-
In the field of chemistry, there is a type of reaction where, after a certain amount of energy has been supplied, it is suddenly generated and a significant amount of heat is released, which is accompanied by an increase in pressure and temperature. These reactions can also be realized through mechanochemistry (mechanical grinding in grinding chambers of planetary mills). In order to accurately determine the reaction time, it is necessary to continuously measure the temperature inside the grinding chamber. There are commercially sold cylindrical grinding chambers with implemented temperature and pressure measurement, but they are expensive and the time interval of the measurement is not sufficient to enable accurate detection of the time of the investigated type of chemical reactions. Currently, measuring devices are available directly from the manufacturer of the grinding chambers, but they are tied to the given grinding chamber and it is necessary to get a specifically adapted grinding chamber with a sensor integrated and isolated in the lid together with the measuring device. For that reason, the available measuring devices are expensive and not transferable to other grinding chambers.
A team of inventors from an established Slovak scientifics has developed managed to substantially eliminate the aforementioned shortcomings and develop a new device for measuring the dynamic temperature change inside the cylindrical grinding chambers, which measure the temperature every 80 ms. The recording of a sudden change in temperature is also possible due to the fact that the temperature sensor has a small thermal capacity and is isolated from the massive structure of the chamber. Compared to the commercial devices available so far, a significant advantage is that the said device can be easily moved to another lid of the grinding chamber without the need for complex disassembly. The essence of the new solution is that the entire device can be placed on the lids of the grinding chambers, which contain a pressure release screw, without the need for mechanical intervention, while the device is turned on by a switch. Subsequently, there will be a wireless connection between the measuring device and the control application. The developed computer application makes it possible to graphically record temperature values from the start of the measurement and save data even in the event of a communication failure with the routing system. Changing the measurement intervals, such as starting, stopping, checking the status of the batteries and other changes is possible through the aforementioned computer application. Such a universal device, which can be easily moved from one lid of the grinding chamber to another, does not yet exist.
The institutions are looking for a partner to cooperate with via commercial agreement or investment agreement. - Advantages and Innovations
