Thermal Sensors High heat flux sensor for concentrated solar radiation and flames, water cooled HFS01 is a water-cooled sensor that measures high-level radiative and convective heat fluxes. It is designed for studies of concentrated solar irradiance (800 x concentrated direct solar radiation) and high-intensity flames (gas burners, coal fires, etc.). HFS01 has a very robust all-metal / ceramics instrument body and sensor, and is equipped with a high-temperature cable to survive the extreme conditions of a typical experiment. Introduction HFS01 measures heat flux in the range of (0 to 800) x 103 W/m2; the extremely high fluxes as generated by flames and solar concentrators. Equipped with a black absorber, it is designed for measurement in an environment in which heat flux includes radiation as well as convection. HFS01’s thermopile sensor generates an output voltage proportional to the total absorbed heat flux. The sensor must be water-cooled. Water cooling is usually supplied by tap water. A removable flange that can be used for mounting is supplied with the sensor. Also, a type K thermocouple is included, to measure the sensor body temperature. Figure 1 HFS01 high heat flux sensor, water cooled The part of the cabling closest to the sensor is a special high-temperature metal sheathed cable with an interlocked spiral stainless steel armour. The high-temperature cable and armour withstand temperatures up to 900 °C. Because the sensor body is water cooled, it will remain relatively cool. The surface temperature of the sensor may reach 650 ˚C. The low-temperature extension cable has a jacket of PTFE type plastic. The HFS01 sensor can also be ordered without black coating, so that HFS01’s absorption of radiation is reduced, while it remains sensitive to convective radiation. Users may also coat HFS01 with their own coating, to create a different response to radiation. solar concentrators flame research fluidised beds Next level technology Figure 2 HFS01 is the sensor of choice for studies of concentrated sun and high-intensity flames HFS01 has several advantages: • very robust all-metal / ceramics instrument body and sensor • high-temperature signal cable • signal wires electrically insulated from the sensor body and from cooling water Copyright by Hukseflux.

The factory calibration method follows the recommended practice of ASTM C1130-07 (2012). Operation Using HFS01 is easy. It can be connected directly to commonly used data logging systems. The heat flux, in W/m2, is calculated by dividing the HFS01 output,...
