Minsk Research Institute of Radiomaterials of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus offers consumers heat flux sensors under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

OJSC "Minsk Research Institute of Radiomaterials" of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus manufactures heat flux sensors designed to measure the power of the radiant energy flow with low energy consumption.

Sensors are made on the basis of MEMS receivers with sensitive elements based on microthermopar. Such elements include a dielectric membrane with high heat absorption and several sequentially connected microthermopairs, the "hot" junctions of which are located on the membrane, and the "cold" ones have good thermal contact with the substrate, which allows achieving the maximum possible performance characteristics.

Heat flux sensors are characterized by:
* wide range of radiant energy measurements;
* high sensitivity;
* linearity of transformation;
* low power consumption;
* high speed of reaction to thermal influence;
* low thermal inertia;
* high radiation resistance.

Technical specifications:

Spectral measurement range, microns	0.1-14
Optical radiation range, W/m2	0-1500
Thermocouple resistance, kOm	4-100

Areas of use:
* regulation of temperature processes, remote temperature measurement (turbine engines, medicine);
* selective measurement of radiant energy in certain spectral ranges;
* orientation systems for small spacecraft;
* systems for ground testing of spacecraft;
* missile guidance systems, etc.

OJSC "Minsk Research Institute of Radiomaterials" offers partners:
* heat flux sensors under a manufacturing agreement;
* heat flux sensors under a distribution services agreement.
