Applications

Hukseflux is a leading manufacturer, both in technology and market share, of pyranometers. We supply to the world's largest PV system performance monitoring companies, system integrators and OEM customers. Our product range for PV monitoring includes pyranometers (measuring global solar radiation) and pyrheliometers (measuring direct solar radiation).

For scientists interested in measurement of surface fluxes, Hukseflux offers radiometers (net radiometers, pyranometers and pyrgeometers) as well as heat flux sensors and ultra high accuracy soil temperature profile sensors. In addition, Hukseflux offers a range of products for measurement of soil thermal properties. Hukseflux is the market leader in heat flux measurement related to meteorology and Bowen Ratio Systems.

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.

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.

Hukseflux is the 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.

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. Do you have any questions about our products or would you like our support in setting up a measurement, don't hesitate to contact us. At Hukseflux, we like having a good technical conversation.

Did you know that heat flux can be measured? The FHF 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 FHF series heat flux sensors offers the first really practical solution to add heat flux to your measurements. For example: they can serve to measure heat flux boundary conditions as input for your thermal simulation (e.g. Ansys, COMSOL, OpenFoam, SimScale, Abaqus, etc.) or they can be used as validation of calculations.
