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 />
