Abstract

The object of the study is the development of a device capable of accurately and reliably measuring heat flux density in various environments. The development of a heat flux density meter designed for non-destructive analysis of thermal processes in various fields of application is presented.

The developed device is intended for evaluating the thermal insulation condition of underground pipelines. The functionality of the heat flow device relies on comparing standard temperature values with experimental ones measured on the soil surface. To ensure accurate and reliable measurement of heat flux density, the basis is a thermoelectric battery converter, which uses the auxiliary wall method. The heat flow density measuring device is constructed in the shape of a restricted cylinder, with one base serving as the working surface, while the second base establishes thermal contact with the body at ambient temperature. Embedded heaters enable the generation of heat flow through the thermoelectric sensor in directions perpendicular to its base. For calibrating the heat flux device, experiments were conducted using a standard copper-constantan calibration table. Temperature increments were determined from thermo electromotive force, and tests were performed on an existing heating network. The conducted measurements validate the fundamental feasibility of employing the proposed device for implementing the non-destructive thermal testing method on underground heating mains.

The results of the experiment can be used not only for research, but also for monitoring and regulating processes in various fields of science and technology. The developed heat flux meter promises a significant contribution to the development of modern methods for analyzing thermal processes.

The dimensions of the thermoelectric battery converter are also determined and the coefficient (kq) should be in the range from 4.0 to 12.0 W/(m2⋅mV), and the electrical resistance should be in the range of 12–20 kOhm
