The Hukseflux broadband radiometer range includes ISO-9060 Class pyranometers, pyrheliometer, pyrgeometer and net radiometers; also see MiniTrak Solar Tracker for normal incidence direct and global diffuse broadband measurement applications. See reference users for application use and applicable sensor products.

Broadband Radiometry
Radiometers are devices, or sensors, intended for measuring radiant flux energy across a defined region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Thermopile based radiometers detect and convert heat flux, or thermal flux energy, into a measureable voltage signal, while photodiode based radiometers convert photons absorbed at a constant response/quantum and output as a measureable voltage or current signal.

Hukseflux specializes in the design and manufacture of thermopile based radiometers for measuring broadband SW (short-wave) light and solar radiant flux energy, from 0.2 – 4.0 µm (i.e. pyranometers and pyrheliometers), including broadband radiometers for measurement LW (long-wave) far infrared radiative flux energy, from 4.5 – 50 µm (i.e. pyrgeometers). In addition to the single band SW and LW radiometer models, Hukseflux also offers multi-band integrated radiometer models for measuring both SW and LW radiant flux energy (see NR01 and RA01 models), ideally suited for total flux and/or total energy balance measurement applications.

Hukseflux broadband radiometers are commonly used in meteorological research, material testing, greenhouse, solar renewable energy, and industrial process monitoring/control measurement applications.

Hukseflux also offers a range of water-cooled high intensity Schmidt-Boelter type heat flux gauges/sensors for concentrated multi-sun solar renewable energy applications; see SBG01 Heat Flux Sensor series for complete product description and specifications.
