A heat flow logger that’s ideal for addressing the root cause of changes in temperature

The LR8432-20 is a heat flow logger that visualizes quantities of heat.
By using a heat flow sensor to visualize movements of thermal energy (heat flows) and quantities of thermal energy, you can obtain data that serves as a leading indicator of changes in temperature.

Heat flow loggers as a useful tool for formulating thermal measures in R&D and performance evaluation

Visualizing heat flows (inflows and outflows) and quantities of heat with a heat flow logger is useful when you need to implement more precise air-conditioning control or formulate thermal measures as part of the product development process.

- Isolation of heat generated and dissipated in automotive parts
- Evaluate the thermal performance of building materials
- Measure the energy efficiency of consumer electronics
- Study the impact of body heat
- Diagnose the deterioration of insulation material in plant piping
- Index temperature fluctuation in agriculture and civil engineering
- Quality control of food storage
- Development of materials, sportswear and winter wear etc.

Display heat flow and temperature gauges simultaneously

Heat flow and temperature gauges can be displayed simultaneously for data measured with the Heat Flow Logger LR8432-20.
Display the gauges for data you want to compare at the same time in order to see changes in temperature and heat flow at a single glance.
