A transducer called a heat flux sensor produces an electrical signal proportional to the total heat rate that is applied to the sensor’s surface. To calculate the heat flux, the recorded heat rate is divided by the sensor’s surface area.
The source of the heat flux can vary; in theory, conductive, radiative, and convective heat can all be detected. Different names for heat flux sensors include heat flux transducers, heat flux gauges, and heat flux plates. Some instruments, such as pyranometers for measuring solar radiation, are essentially single-purpose heat flux sensors.
Other heat flux sensors include thin-film thermopiles, Schmidt-Boelter gauges, Gordon gauges, and circular-foil gauges. The heat rate is expressed in Watts in SI units, while the heat flux is calculated in Watts per square meter.
There are several applications for heat flux sensors. Common uses include investigations into the thermal resistance of building envelopes, investigations into the impact of fire and flames, or measures of laser power. Applications that are more unusual include measuring the temperature of moving foil material and estimating fouling on boiler surfaces.
A conductive, convective, and radiative component each make up a portion of the overall heat flux. One might choose to measure all three of these numbers or just one, depending on the application.
It can be used in temperatures between -70 and +120 °C. Heat flux from convection, radiation, and conduction is measured by FHF04. For determining heat transfer by radiation and convection independently, black BLK and gold GLD stickers are an option.
A sensor for measuring heat flux generally is the FHF04. It is light, adaptable, and flexible. FHF04 calculates the amount of heat flowing through the attached object in W/m2.
The thermopile sensor is found in FHF04. This thermopile gauges the variation in temperature along the flexible body of the FHF04. There is also an incorporated type T thermocouple. Since the thermopile and thermocouple are passive sensors, no electricity is needed to operate them.
To lessen the measurement’s dependence on thermal conductivity, numerous tiny thermal spreaders work together to create a conductive layer that covers the sensor. The sensitivity of FHF04 is independent of its environment thanks to its integrated spreaders.
Thermal spreaders are absent from a large number of rival sensors. The sensor’s passive guard region, which is also utilized for mounting, lowers measurement inaccuracies brought on by edge effects.
Surface mount heat flux sensors that are thin and flexible can now be produced in large quantities. These all-purpose sensors can be used to directly detect the heat flow in W/m2 on any surface. We are constantly creating brand-new, top-of-the-line sensor products that monitor both heat flux and temperature.
A heat flux sensor from one of the products, the PHFS-01e, is strengthened by being enclosed in either copper, brass, or aluminum. The metal encapsulation may increase the whole sensor package’s thickness and thermal resistance by a negligible amount, but it also gives the PHFS-01e a higher level of sensitivity and durability.
When the sensor must endure removal and reapplication to measuring surfaces repeatedly during the course of its lifespan, increased durability is advantageous.
This sensor may be traced to NIST. They are employed in the research and development of heat transfer components, thermal system energy efficiency, and heat transfer instruction.
Global heat flux sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A self-calibrating variant of the FHF05 heat flux sensors with an incorporated heater are the two variants of the FHF05SC series. The two heater models from the HTR02 series can be used to calibrate and check the performance of any models from the FHF05 series.
With the help of these two products, you may calibrate, test, or examine the functionality of FHF05 heat flux models. It enables you to detect heat flow with greater accuracy. With the newest technology, we are pleased to offer you these two brand-new series to aid in your analysis and decision-making. Heat flux sensor with built-in heater, FHF05SC series.
Their regular model FHF05 heat flux sensor is combined with an integrated heater to create the FHF05SC series. You can do self-tests on the heater to ensure that the sensor is stable and effective while in use without removing it.
The FHF05SC series is perfect for thermal conductivity test equipment, calorimeter construction, zero heat flux core temperature measurement, and high-accuracy and long-term heat flux measurement.
