The results of the research showed that the direct survey of condensation with the new sensor is more accurate and reliable than the traditional indirect microclimatic measurements. Since the construction of the first prototype, the dew sensor was developed further, continuously improved, validated in the laboratory and applied successfully on different surfaces at sites of interest in the field of Cultural Heritage; on the stained glass windows in the Saint Urbain Basilica of Troyes （France）, Sainte Chapelle of Paris （France） and Cologne Cathedral （Germany）; on stone walls in Petrarca＇s Tomb （Padua, Italy） and the Hagar Qim Temple （Malta）. Now the sensor is being used in the Lascaux Caves （France）. The newly built device was patented （PTC/EP2005/050665） and gave such interesting results that the Italian Ministry of University and Research financially supported a spin-off project that has lead to the creation of a new company （R.E.D.s.r.l.） in order to develop the prototype further and to produce the sensor at industrial scale.展开更多

The glass window is analysed as a non-gray plane-parallel medium disctritized to thin layer as-suming the glass material as participating media in one-dimensional case, using the Radiation Element Method by Ray Emission Model (REM2). The model allows the calculation of the steady-state heat flux and the temperature distribution within the glass cover. The spectral dependence of the relevant radiation properties of glass (i.e. specular reflectivity, refraction angle and absorption coefficient) is taken into account. Both solar and thermal incident irradiations are applied at the boundary surfaces using the spectral solar model proposed by Bird and Riordan. The optical constant of a commercial clear glass material have been used. The calculation has been performed during winter period and the effect of the thickness of the glass for a single glazing and of the air layer between the two panels for double glazing has been studied. The result shows that increasing the air layer, the steady heat flux decreases and the temperature distribution within the glass changes.展开更多
