Water-cooled high heat flux sensor engineered for harsh industrial environments HFS01

Product catalog summary
Overview: The HFS01 is a water-cooled high heat flux sensor designed for harsh industrial environments, capable of measuring extreme radiative and convective heat flux levels. It features a robust all-metal body, high-temperature cabling, and an IP67 rating, making it suitable for applications such as metal furnaces, refractories, and concentrated solar power.
Specifications: The HFS01 measures heat flux in the range of 0 to 800 x 103 W/m2. It includes a black absorber and a thermopile sensor that generates an output voltage proportional to the absorbed heat flux. A Type K thermocouple measures the sensor body temperature. The sensor is water-cooled, typically using tap water, and features a high-temperature metal-sheathed cable that withstands up to 900 °C.
Design and Features: The sensor includes a removable mounting flange for easy installation. It can be ordered without the black coating to reduce radiation absorption while remaining sensitive to convective radiation. The sensor's signal wires are electrically insulated from the sensor body and cooling water.
Calibration and Operation: Calibration is traceable to international standards, following ASTM C1130-07 (2012). The sensor connects directly to data logging systems, with heat flux calculated by dividing the sensor's output voltage by its sensitivity. It is equipped with heavy-duty cabling and a stainless steel casing for reliable performance.
Options and Accessories: Options include longer cables, connectors, and a blank metal sensor surface. Related products include the GG01 Gardon gauge for higher heat flux measurements and other water-cooled sensors for specific applications.
Company Information: Hukx is a leader in solar radiation and heat flux sensor technology, headquartered in the Netherlands with global sales offices. They offer comprehensive support across the sensor lifecycle.
