Hukseflux Thermal Sensors, market leader in heat flux measurement, has released the TCOMSYS01 system. It measures human thermal comfort according to the new Hot Cube method. Its application in automotive testing seems logic – Hukseflux was recently voted Automotive Supplier of the Year – but there is more.
Already in 1929 the Eupatheoscope (from Greek wellbeingemotionexamination) was designed by A.F. Dufton to quantify the condition in a room from the point of view of comfort. It consists of a blackened cylinder which is controlled to maintain a temperature of 23 °C. The power used is interpreted in terms of equivalent temperatures. In the 1990s, the company Bruel & Kjear carried a thermal comfort meter (model 1212), based on the same principle, and in addition processing Fangers equation. Both models involved only an integrated power measurement. The new Hot Cube method improves on this by incorporating omnidirectional heat flux measurements.
TCOMSYS01 is small enough to work in confined environments such as the passenger compartment of a car. Besides applications in the automotive industry, there are more usage examples of the Hot Cube system:
· surveys of human thermal comfort
· studies of the effect of radiating sources
· workplace investigations
· educational purposes, illustrating heat transfer
· bio-meteorology
· microclimate studies
· wind-chill analysis
· analysis of fabric insulation
