Heat flux sensors are commonly used in industry for process monitoring, fouling detection, and safety systems. See reference users for application use and applicable sensor products.

Industry & Fire Research
Industry & fire research: aluminium / aluminum reduction cell efficiency, boiler heat flux, (blast) furnace safety, boiler fouling, solar concentrator control, fire research, flare monitoring, heat flux profiling in ovens.

Hukseflux now offers a range of Schmidt-Boelter gauges/sensors, the SBG01 series, for high to extreme fire heat flux measurement applications.

The latest generation of Hukseflux high intensity heat flux sensors are ideal for industrial measurement and system process control applications. Examples of industrial heat flux applications include: aluminium reduction cell analysis, boiler fouling detection (Boiler Slagging / Fouling Sensor), oven monitoring and control (Baking Sensor), blast furnace monitoring (Blast Furnace Safety System / General Furnace Monitoring), flame monitoring and composites processing. Advantages of heat flux sensor integration and measurement include:

• Improved system efficiency
• Safety of personnel
• Process detection and control
• Fouling detection and service alarm notification

Hukseflux is an innovator and industry leader in the field of industrial heat flux measurement. Sensors can be manufactured in accordance with ISO-9000 standards, or industrial standards such as ITS90, ANSI, DIN and BS, including Eexi, ATEX / Cenelec and NAMUR safety standards.
