  • Page 5: Introduction

    To avoid leakage of current, a risk in aluminium reduction cells, a silicone sleeve is placed over the metal armour. The low-temperature extension cable has wire insulation and a jacket of PTFE type plastic. One face of HF01 is painted black, the other is blank metal.

    Using HF01 is easy. For readout the user only needs an accurate voltmeter that works in the millivolt range. To convert the measured voltage, U, to a heat flux Φ, the voltage must be divided by the sensitivity S, a constant that is supplied with each individual sensor, and correct for the temperature of the sensor.
  • Page 10 Heat flux sensors such as HF01, for use in industry at high heat flux levels, are typically calibrated under the following reference conditions:  conductive heat flux (as opposed to radiative or convective heat flux)  homogeneous heat flux across the sensor and guard surface ...

    Specifications of HF01 HF01 measures the heat flux density through the surface of the sensor. This quantity, expressed in W/m , is called heat flux. It also measures the absolute temperature of the surface on which it is mounted. HF01 is passive, using thermopile and thermocouple sensors.

    Use of HF01 is not subject to standardised operating procedures. 4.1 Heat flux measurement in industry Many HF01 sensors measure on industrial walls and metal surfaces, estimating the installation’s energy balance. Typically the total measuring system consists of multiple heat flux- and temperature sensors. In many cases heat flux sensors are used for trend- monitoring.

  • Page 18: Electrical Connection

    A heat flux sensor should be connected to a measurement system, typically a so-called datalogger. HF01 is a passive sensor that does not need any power, neither for the heat flux sensor, nor for the temperature sensor. Cables may act as a source of distortion, by picking up capacitive noise.

  • Page 20: Maintenance And Trouble Shooting

    The preferred way to obtain a reliable measurement is a regular critical review of the measured data, preferably checking against other measurements. Table 6.1.1 Recommended maintenance of HF01. If possible the data analysis is done on a daily basis.
  • Page 21: Trouble Shooting

    Inspect the connection of the shield (typically connected at the datalogger side). Check the datalogger program in particular if the right sensitivity is entered. HF01’s sensor serial number is engraved on the transition piece between high temperature cable and low temperature extension cable. The sensitivity can be found on the calibration certificate.
  • Page 22: Calibration And Checks In The Field

    On-site field calibration is possible by comparison to a calibration reference sensor, usually mounted side by side. Hukseflux main recommendations for field calibrations are: 1) to compare to a calibration reference of the same brand and type as the field sensor 2) to connect both to the same electronics, so that electronics errors (also offsets) are eliminated.
