Custos Aeris: New evaluations for the preventive protection of historical lead glazing (Part 4)

  


Risk of temperature and humidity gradients

Particularly with solar radiation very high gradients in glass temperature, air temperature and relative humidity can occur. They can lead to damage of the historical glass painting. Even though there are no limit values for these gradients so far, they are now evaluated and displayed to give a feeling for the values.

Risk Temperature gradient

The following picture shows the gradients of the glass temperature of the historic glass on the church interior side and on the air gap side as well as the gradients of the protective glazing.

Gradient of glas temperature at historical lead glazing in K/15min

An increase in the gradients is clearly visible for the summer months. However, since the window is on the north side, no extreme gradients are visible.


The next picture shows the gradients of air temperatures:

Gradien of air temperature around historical glazing with protective glazing in K/15min

Here the summer-winter effect is also visible and the gradients are lower for the air temperatures on the inside of the church (blue) due to damping effects.


Risk Humidity gradient

As expected, the summer-winter effect is also visible here and the gradients of humidity inside the church are lower than those in the air gap. Maximum values of the change are about 7.5% relative humidity in 15 minutes.

This work is a separate continuation of the DBU project DBU Aktenzeichen 30751 "Development and exemplary application of a new sensor system for monitoring the sustainable effectiveness of protective glazing for stained glass endangered by anthropogenic environmental influences using the example of the Wiesenkirche in Soest", which was supported and completed by the DBU. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for supporting the project.

Unsere neue Webseite ist fertig: Schimmel und Kondensat in historischen Gebäuden Schadenvorbeugung, Schadenerkennung und Schadenkontrolle

Das Klima ändert sich in den nächsten Jahren deutlich. Lufttemperatur und relative Feuchte fuehren zunehmend zu Schimmel und Kondensat. Der durch Menschen mitverursachte Klimawandel wird bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts nicht nur die mittlere Lufttemperatur erhoehen, sondern auch zu einem erheblichen Anstieg der relativen Luftfeuchte fuehren. Dies bedeutet unmittelbar eine Bedrohung der Innenausstattungen von Kirchen und anderen historisch wertvollen Kulturguetern. Feuchte Luft in Kontakt zu kalten Objekten fuehrt zu Kondensation von in der Luft geloestem Wasserdampf. In Kirchen und anderen historischen Gebäuden speichern die massiven Wände die Kälte des Winters und der Nacht. Im Sommer, wenn warme feuchte Luft durch falsche Lueftung ins Innere der Gebäude gelangt, kann dies sogar zu Nebel und/oder Schwitzwasser fuehren. In vielen Fällen ist dies die Ursache von Schäden z.B. an historischen Glasfenstern, an Altären, Orgeln, Gemälden, Schreinen, Teppichen und sonstigen Objekten. Das Risiko...

How can cultural heritage be managed in times of climate change? Conference Bamberg, Germany, Date: February 27th/28th 2023

Long-term measurements of climate in the dome of Xanten and measurements on historic surfaces to predict damage risks on historical windows and mould risk on several historic altars in Xanten Johannes Schubert et.al. (cathedral builder Xanten), Rolf Becker (university Rhein-Waal)  and Hans Daams The current and future assessment of the indoor climate in Xanten cathedral and their effect on damages   of historical furnishings requires an extensive measurement strategy throughout the cathedral and on respective objects inside the cathedral. In cooperation with the university of Rhein-Waal this has been done now for more than three years.  This paper is focusing on in-situ measurements of historical surfaces. The valuable stained glass from the Middle Ages and the historical Petrus Altar are selected as examples of measurements and risk assessment. The impact of climate and sun on the protective glazing was measured for a period of 3 years. Data were collected for te...
