Device for measurement of thermal emissivity at cryogenic temperatures.

Author(s) : KRÁLIC T., HANZELKA P., MUSILOVÁ V., et al.

Summary

In the described device, the thermal emissivity or absorptivity of the sample is measured by substitution of the radiative heat flow between two parallel surfaces by thermal output of a heater. Fast measurements of the mutual emissivity for the range of the temperature of the radiating surface 25-150 K are possible. The absorbing surface has a temperature between 5 and 10 K when liquid helium is used as cryoliquid. The desired measurement sensitivity is 1 mK for temperature and 0.1 µW for heat power, respectively. The diameter of the whole device is 50 mm and so it is possible to use a commercial dewar can for the cooling. The form of the sample is a round plate 40 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness with one tested side. The emissivity and its temperature dependency for various surface treatments can be checked immediately before application in a cryogenic system.
