RADIATION / CONVECTION HEAT FLUX SENSOR (RC-01-ATX)

RC-01-ATX RADIATION / CONVECTION (RADCON) HEAT FLUX SENSOR

The RC-01-ATX is a heat flux and temperature sensor for study of radiation, convection and heat transfer in ovens, furnaces, baking and drying processes. The measurement result is often used as a characterisation of a “fingerprint” of oven settings, making it possible to compare or reproduce oven settings.

INTRODUCTION

RC-01-ATX consists of two heat flux sensors, the one covered by a gold reflector (only sensitive to convective transfer), the other by a black absorber (sensitive to radiative as well as convective transfer). A temperature sensor is integrated below the reflector.

The sensor can be delivered built into special heat sinks. Normally this is made of nickel; the most common type is RC-01-ATX-M.

In case of RC-01-ATX-M, the sensor is supplied with an external temperature sensor to determine the surrounding air temperature. By measuring the heat fluxes, sensor temperature and surrounding air temperature one is able to determine the local heat transfer coefficients.

 

SUGGESTED USE

• Drying kilns, baking ovens
• Continuous belt dryer
