Building physics / insulation, thermal comfort and energy budget measurement

In building physics, the investigation of the insulation capabilities of building materials is an important subject of study. Hukseflux is the market leader in heat flux measurement related to building physics. The most commonly used sensor is model HFP01. Hukseflux supplies turn-key systems for analysis of thermal resistance of building envelopes and elements. Read More >

Industrial monitoring and control / heat flux and heat transfer measurement

Hukseflux’ heat flux sensors can be used in industrial measurement and control systems. Examples of applications are analysis of aluminium reduction cells, detection fouling in boilers (Boiler Slagging / Fouling Sensor), monitoring of blast furnaces (Blast Furnace Safety System / General Furnace Monitoring), flame monitoring and composites processing.

Heat flux measurement to validate CFD thermal simulations

Did you know that heat flux can be measured? The FHF05 series heat flux sensors is used to verify simulated heat flux. Heat transfer and thermal management of designs, devices and processes are often optimised using CFD simulation. The results are estimated temperatures and heat fluxes. Until now, only measurement of temperature is very common for validation purposes. The Hukseflux FHF05 series heat flux sensors offers the first really practical solution. Read More >

Scientific research / heat and heat transfer measurement

Many engineering studies involve the measurement of transport of heat. The heat and heat transfer measurements are used for several purposes, including understanding the physics / main transport mechanisms and analysing energy balance (input – output) of a system. A good starting point for a heat transfer experiment is a heat flux measurement. Hukseflux has a full range of heat flux sensors. Read More >

Geotechnics / soil thermal route analysis

Hukseflux is market leader in the design of needle type thermal conductivity sensors. The main application of these sensors is in measurement of soil thermal conductivity and resistivity. There are two product categories: The first consists of scientific systems (needle types TP02 and TP08, with system type TPSYS02). The second category is systems designed for robustness rather than accuracy, with systems FTN02, MTN02 and TNS02.  Read More >
