- Challenging heat transfer or thermal measurement problem? Contact Hukseflux
- Hukseflux offers measurement solutions for the most challenging applications.
- Our expertise in determining heat transfer and thermal quantities is at your disposal via our engineering services. Let us help you to improve product concepts and get better results.
Introduction
- Hukseflux’s main area of expertise is the measurement of heat transfer and thermal quantities. We are known as a leading manufacturer of heat flux sensors, pyranometers and a range of thermal measuring systems. Did you know that Hukseflux offers engineering services as well?
- We apply our expertise to related fields such as the measurement of temperature differences, thermal contact resistance to flow sensors, fouling sensors and many more.
- Highlighted in this brochure are some examples of the challenging applications we encountered and the solutions we provided to our customers.
Services: what we do
- design customer-specific experiments, for example, to characterise materials or determine thermal properties such as thermal contact resistances
- design and supply complete measuring and control systems, for example for use in the customer’s production or quality assurance processes
- design customer-specific sensors, sometimes, not always, later manufactured by ourselves for the same customer
Why work with us
Having Hukseflux experts on board, you will get better results faster.
- our people, many with degrees in engineering and physics, have many years of accumulated experience performing measurements, designing experiments and building practical equipment. This helps, for example, to save time, make equipment serviceable, more accurate or at a lower cost
- in many cases we “recycle” our existing thermal measurement and control expertise in our customer’s application
- we have many custom-made sensors (for heat flux and differential temperature) as well as measuring systems that make it possible to quickly and efficiently perform our first prototyping
The next pages show you some example projects carried out by Hukseflux via its engineering services and some references. Please contact us to discuss if our engineering services can offer a solution for your needs.
