Sensor applications
Sensors and measurement solutions designed by Hukx play a vital role in various applications. Some examples of these applications:
- Our main market is system performance monitoring for the solar renewable energy industry. At large-scale solar PV power plants the data generated by Hukx pyranometers are used for vital day-to-day analysis and decision making to improve system performance.
- Many of Hukx’s heat flux sensors are used to explore possibilities for efficient and sustainable use of energy. A common application of these sensors to measure the heat loss of buildings. Heat flux data are used to convince homeowners it is worthwhile to insulate houses.
- There are numerous scientific applications as well; we offer radiometers (pyranometers, pyrgeometers and net radiometers) that help scientists to understand global climate change. Our capability to accurately measure heat flux from fires leads to a better understanding of flammability of materials, which helps our customers to improve product safety.
