Thermometer reading in the vacuum box


Typically, we read the temperature shown on a glass rod thermometer, which reflects the air temperature under normal ambient conditions. However, when placed inside a vacuum chamber, the same thermometer still shows a reading. But can we confidently say that this reading represents the actual temperature inside the vacuum chamber? The answer is no. In a vacuum, there is no air, and therefore, no air temperature exists. What the thermometer measures in such an environment is not the temperature of the surrounding space, but rather the heat it absorbs from radiation.

The temperature measured by the glass rod thermometer in a vacuum depends largely on the surface properties of the thermometer itself—such as its roughness and its ability to absorb, reflect, or transmit infrared radiation. In technical terms, this is referred to as "emissivity." The higher the emissivity (closer to 1), the more infrared radiation the object absorbs, leading to a higher measured temperature. Conversely, a lower emissivity means less absorption and a lower reading.

Therefore, the reading on the glass rod thermometer in a vacuum does not represent the true temperature of the objects inside the chamber. It only indicates the temperature of the thermometer after absorbing infrared radiation. This is especially important when dealing with different materials, as their surface characteristics can significantly affect how much heat they actually absorb. As a result, relying solely on the thermometer's reading may not provide an accurate representation of the actual thermal conditions experienced by the samples being tested or dried.

When using an electric vacuum drying oven, it's essential to understand that the thermometer reading in the vacuum chamber is just one factor to consider. Operators should combine this information with their own experience, observe the behavior of the materials, and adjust the process accordingly to achieve optimal results. Over time, this hands-on approach helps improve accuracy and efficiency in vacuum-based applications.
