Envco – Environmental Equipment

The RC01 consists of two heat flux detectors: a gold plated low emissivity detector (sensitive to convective transfer effects only), and a second black coated detector (sensitive to both radiative and convective transfer effects). A type 'K' thermocouple is embedded within the sensor below the detector surfaces. Additional heat-sink options are available for the RC01 (nickel heat-sink is typical, RC01-M option).

Applications
• Drying kilns, baking ovens
• Continuous belt dryers

The RC01-M optioned model is supplied standard with an external temperature sensor for ambient air temperature measurement. By measuring the heat fluxes, sensor temperature, and surrounding ambient air temperature, local heat transfer coefficients can be determined.
