TEMPERATURE OF THE TOP LEVEL SURFACE OF PARTS OF AGRICULTURAL SOIL TILLING MACHINERY. PART II – THERMOVISION MEASUREMENTS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2015, Vol 260, Issue 2
Abstract
Using a thermal camera, the temperature distribution of the surfaces of ploughshares, subsoil shanks, and cultivator tooth coulters was determined. These parts worked in soil conditions during operation in the field. The ploughshares’ temperature distribution was more diverse than subsoil shanks and cultivator tooth coulters. The front parts of the ploughshares had the highest temperature (in particular soil tillage with low moisture ~ 8.4%). This shows a heavy load from the ground. Moreover, the subsoil shanks, and cultivator tooth coulters’ temperatures were similar with a slight increase of the half-length their parts.
