目前美国国家标准协会（ANSI）标准（Z83.6-1982）确定商用燃气红外管太空搅拌器总红外热输出的方法不够广泛，无法涵盖目前市场上的所有设备。例如，长直管式或U形管式加热器不能根据标准中规定的球形网格方法进行评估。网格的大小对于实际使用来说太大了。通过文献调查和实验室评估，开发了一种将该程序扩展到其他加热器的方法。对当前的测试程序以及用于测量红外热耗率的仪器进行了评估。基于使用180°视角辐射计和加热器周围的圆柱形网格，开发了测量总辐射输出的程序。 该程序在实验室进行了测试，结果令人满意。测量了总输入为104000 Btu/h的直管加热器的总辐射输出为40500 Btu/h。制定的测量程序包括几个经过仔细评估和定义的参数，具体来说，辐射计窗口材料、辐射计冷却水的需要、校准技术和背景辐射测量。单位:I-PCITION:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1987年，第93卷，pt。1，纽约州纽约市

The current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard (Z83.6-1982) method determining total infrared heat output from commercial gas-fired infrared-wtube space beaters is not sufficiently broad to encompass all of the equipment currently in the marketplace. For example, long straight or U-shaped tubular heaters cannot be evaluated under the spherical grid approach specified in the standard. The grid size would be simply too large for practical use.An approach to extending the procedure to other heaters has been developed through a literature survey and a laboratory evaluation. Current test procedures were evaluated along with instrumentation used to measure infrared heat rates. A procedure was developed for measuring total radiant output based on the use of a 180° view angle radiometer and a cylindrical grid surrounding the heater. The procedure was tested in the laboratory and found to perform satisfactorily. A total radiant output of 40,500 Btu/h was measured emanating from a straight tube heater of 104,000 Btu/h gross input. The measuring procedure developed includes several parameters that were carefully assessed and defined, specifically, radiometer window material, the need for radiometer water cooling, calibration techniques, and measurement of background radiation.Units: I-P
