Abstract
A method and system for dynamically determining and adjusting a dispersion stability of particles in a suspension. The system includes a thermal imaging camera configured to determine movement of the particles in the suspension; and a mixing device, wherein the mixing device is configured to stir the suspension to dynamically maintain the suspension at a desired dispersion stability and temperature.
Claims11
A method for dynamically determining a dispersion stability of a suspension, the method comprising:
- providing a suspension having an initial temperature and an initial dispersion stability;
- heating or cooling the suspension at a constant temperature;
- aiming a thermal camera at the suspension;
- capturing, using the thermal camera, a thermal radiation emitted from the suspension;
- converting, using a computer processor, the thermal radiation into a visual thermal image;
- analyzing, using the computer processor, the visual thermal images to calculate the dispersion stability and temperature of the suspension;
- and
- mixing the suspension to dynamically maintain the suspension at the initial temperature and the initial dispersion stability.
