ALUSYS
HEAT FLUX SENSOR SYSTEM FOR USE IN
ALUMINIUM SMELTER/ FURNACES
The ALUSYS has been designed for
use in the study of aluminium smelters / furnaces. The system consists of a
Measurement Control Unit and a number of heat flux / surface temperature
sensors of type HF01 with magnet frame. These sensors can be mounted on the
steel shell of the smelter.

INTRODUCTION
- ALUSYS system is used to perform
measurement of heat fluxes and surface temperature at high temperatures.
It is designed in particular for the study of aluminium smelters /
furnaces.
- The electronics can accept 12 or 3
sensors (using a multiplexer, depending on the model).The assembled data
are exported to a PC via USB. A PC, not part of the system, can be used
for on-line graphical monitoring as well as data collection.
- The system can operate for a
limited time on a battery that is incorporated in the system box (at
least 24 hours)
- For all information on the HF01
sensors, the user should read brochure and manual for that sensor.
Advantages of HF01 relative to
competing models are:
Reference users of HF01 are: Comalco,
Alcan, Corus and Norsk Hydro.
SUGGESTED USE
- Studies of aluminium melting
furnaces
