HF-10S Heat flux sensor:
The HF-10S measures heat flux through an object it is mounted to, in W/m2. The HF-10S features a very thin design and has a low thermal resistance. Heat flux sensors can be used in a variety of research applications and manufacturing control processes. EKO has various types of thin substrate heat flux sensors in the product line-up.
A heat flux sensor is a thermopile sensor which generates an electric signal proportional to the temperature difference (∆T) across the thermocouple hot and cold junctions. To generate a measurable voltage, heat flux sensors have multiple thermocouples spread over the total area connected in series. EKO heat flux sensors are available in different sizes and thickness.
Due to a strong drive for energy saving nowadays, obtaining accurate information on the thermal insulation of facilities such as buildings, offices, factories, and houses has increased. The MF and HF-Series Heat Flow Sensors are designed to directly measure the heat radiation or heat transmission from walls, floor/ground, stock storage walls, and freezer walls, as well as to measure the heat flow rate underground, by embedding or attaching the Heat Flow Sensor to the measuring part.
The MF-180 and MF-180M are compact type heat flow sensors with high sensitivity. MF-180M is designed for outdoor use. HF-Series are thin types of heat flow sensors. Both HF-30S and HF-10S can be attached on a curved surface. By combining several heat flow sensors with an insulated box, a calorimeter device can be created.
A heat flux sensor is a thermocouple, an electronic device that translates thermal energy into an electrical voltage proportional to the temperature gradient across its thermocouples’ hot and cold junctions.
EKO Instruments offers a selection of thin substrate heat-flux sensors in a range of different sizes and thicknesses, an ideal option for research and engineering applications as well as manufacturing control and monitoring processes.
At only 0.5 mm thick, the HF-10S is super-thin and weather-proof, with incredibly low thermal resistance, making it suitable for measuring heat radiation and transmission from boilers and combustion rooms, heat radiation from lighting and heat sources, and heating devices.
