An apparatus 100 for measuring thermal radiation in one mode of the present invention is used for detecting thermal radiation of an object 12 to be measured. The apparatus 100 is provided with: a sample cell 10 which includes the object 12 to be measured which is a liquid or an object containing liquid, and a housing part which houses the object 12 to be measured and includes one wall formed of a base 16 transmitting a wavelength of the thermal radiation; a first lens 20 formed by partially cutting a sphere so that a cross section forms a plane, wherein the sample cell 10 is arranged so that, when the base 16 is in close contact with the plane of the first lens 20, focus of a second lens is placed on at least a part of the object 12 to be measured, for example, located on the base 16, the second lens including the first lens 20 and the base 16 and used for detecting the thermal radiation through the first lens 20; a position controller 60 which controls one of the object 12 to be measured and the first lens 20 so as to be able to abut on and separate from the other in an optical axis direction; a vibrational controller 40 which allows one of the object to be measured and the first lens to vibrate with respect to the other and controls a frequency of the vibration; and a detector 70 which detects the thermal radiation through the first lens 20.

Methods and systems for monitoring an industrial process are disclosed. Some aspects of the system arrange multiple imaging sensors to image machinery associated with an industrial process. Regions of interest within images acquired by the multiple imaging sensors may be monitored for abnormal thermal conditions, and alerts generated as needed. Alerts may also be generated if temperatures within a region of interest exceed thresholds associated with that region of interest. Each region of interest may be independently monitored and have individualized alerting thresholds. In some aspects, images from the multiple imaging sensors may be stitched together, with the regions of interest based on the stitched image. In other aspects, regions of interest within images from separate imaging sensors may be linked together so as to share at least common alerting thresholds.

A thermowell assembly for measuring a process temperature includes an elongate thermowell having a proximal end and a distal end. A bore extends between the two ends with the thermowell assembly configured to extend into a process fluid. An infrared sensor detects infrared radiation from the distal end through the bore of the thermowell and responsively provides a sensor output. A configuration is provided in which infrared radiation received by the infrared sensor from a wall of the bore is reduced and or radiation received from the distal end of the bore is increased.

A method for the contactless determination of a condensate formation on a measuring tube surface of an, in particular metallic, measuring tube by means of an optical temperature sensor for the contactless detection of a temperature of the measuring tube of a modular Coriolis flowmeter includes identifying a condensate on the measuring tube surface when an output signal and/or a temporal change of the output signal of the optical temperature sensor is outside a tolerance range.

An apparatus for indicating temperature of a liquid inside a bottle includes a housing having an upper surface configured to support a bottle and a base surface configured to rest on a structure. The apparatus further includes a non-contact thermometer located inside the housing and one or more indicators to display or provide an indication of a temperature state of the bottle. The apparatus also includes a processor. The non-contact thermometer senses temperature of a bottle placed on the upper surface of the housing and sends signals relating to the temperature to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to alert a user if there is an increase in temperature state of the bottle.
