found while thermal conductivity strongly increases. A hardening of concrete can be seen after<br />

setting process has finished. The RTM instrument is constructed to fulfill environmental and<br />

industrial exposition.<br />

Conclusions<br />

Paper presents applicability of the thermophysical tester RTB and the monitoring system RTM<br />

in various area of technology. Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat of the<br />

porous structures can be easy determined providing that thermodynamic conditions are set up<br />

like temperature and the surrounding atmosphere and pressure. Freezing and thawing effects<br />

can be studied in detail. Instruments can be combined to reach more sophisticated<br />

experimentation in area of the propagation of freezing/thawing fronts and in area of moisture<br />

diffusion in porous system. Combination of instruments allow comfortable setting the required<br />

thermodynamic conditions like, surrounding atmosphere, surrounding pressure and the<br />

temperature. A monitoring of the concrete setting was shown. Clear endothermic effects<br />

together with the strong increase of the thermal conductivity was found. Both effects<br />

correspond to setting process.<br />
