High-temperature heat flux sensor HFS01

robustwater-cooled

HFS01 is an industrial water-cooled heat flux sensor engineered to withstand extreme radiative and convective heat flux levels. Its robust, all-metal body, high-temperature cabling, and IP67 rating deliver dependable measurements to withstand challenging conditions in industrial applications. A removable mounting flange simplifies robust, repeatable installation. It is designed for applications like metal furnaces, refractories and concentrated solar power. To measure even higher heat flux levels, see also our GG01 sensor. Engineered for harsh industrial environments HFS01 measures heat flux in the range of (0 to 800) x 103 W/m2, the extremely high fluxes in industrial applications. Equipped with a black absorber and water-cooled, it is designed to measure heat flux from radiative as well as convective sources. HFS01’s thermopile sensor generates an output voltage proportional to the total absorbed heat flux. Also, a Type K thermocouple is included, to measure the sensor body temperature. The sensor body must be kept cool. This is typically done by connecting it to tap water. The section of cabling closest to the sensor is a special high-temperature metal-sheathed cable with an interlocked spiral stainless steel armor capable of withstanding temperatures up to 900 °C. The low-temperature extension cable has a jacket of PTFE-type plastic. A removable flange can be used for mounting and is supplied with the sensor. HFS01 can also be ordered without the black coating to reduce the sensor’s absorption of radiation, while remaining sensitive to convective radiation.
