Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat flow meter calibration, in particular to a thin film heat flow meter calibration device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The thin film heat flow meter, which is extremely thin with a thickness of about ten to twenty microns, is composed of a sensitive layer and a thermal resistance layer, and uses one-dimensional Fourier's law to calculate the heat flow through the heat flow meter surface, and has the advantages of small volume, convenient installation, fast reaction rate, etc.

[0003] The heat flow meter calibration method is mainly divided into three types according to the generation mode of heat flow, namely, heat conduction type heat flow meter calibration method, convection type heat flow meter calibration method and radiation type heat flow meter calibration method. The common heat conduction type heat flow calibration device is mainly divided into relative method calibration and absolute method calibration.

[0004] Among them, the relative method calibration device is composed of a main heating plate, a standard heat flow sensor, a to-be-measured heat flow sensor, a cold plate, and a surrounding thermal protection component. When working, heat flow is generated by the main heating plate, passes through the standard heat flow meter and the to-be-measured heat flow meter in turn, and the to-be-measured heat flow meter is calibrated by the standard heat flow meter. However, this method is limited by the structure and performance parameters of the standard heat flow meter (standard plate) and is commonly used for low-temperature small heat flow calibration, such as the test of the thermal insulation performance of building thermal envelope structure; the absolute method calibration device does not contain a standard heat flow meter, but calculates the heat flow by calculating the electric power of the heating plate. This type of calibration device is limited by the experimental conditions and the level of thermal insulation protection, and it is difficult to achieve high-precision calibration at high temperatures.

[0005] At the same time, for the thin film heat flow meter, the sensitive layer material and the thermal resistance layer material are sputtered onto the alumina substrate through the plating process, wherein the thickness of the thermal resistance layer is 20 microns, and the sensitive layer sensing area is 4mm*4mm. Due to the existence of the thin film, the surface of the heat flow meter is not a complete plane, but has a small protrusion, which causes the heat plate and the substrate to be unable to completely adhere during calibration, and a certain air layer is formed. The simulation calculation results show that the uniform heat flow through the heat plate appears uneven on the air layer and the upper surface of the thin film, mainly because the thermal resistance is large at the air sandwiched layer, and the heat transfer is difficult, so the heat flow at the thin film is much larger than that at the air layer, and the heat flow distribution on the thin film shows a trend from the edge to the center. This is because the heat on the upper part of the air layer around the thin film cannot be transferred from the air side, thus causing horizontal heat conduction, so that the peripheral heat is transferred from the edge of the thin film. Therefore, for the calibration of the thin film heat flow meter, the conventional heat conduction type calibration device cannot meet the one-dimensional uniformity assumption, and the heat flow through the heat flow meter is different from that through the substrate and the cold plate, which cannot measure the size, resulting in the failure of the calibration device.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The purpose of this invention is to provide a calibration device for a thin-film heat flow meter to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that a one-dimensional uniform heat flow can be generated at the heat flow meter under test.

One side of the heat dissipation module 4 is used for placing a calibration plate 10, and the calibration plate 10 is used for placing a to-be-tested heat flow meter 9. The heat dissipation module 4 plays a role of heat dissipation. The heat protection module comprises a temperature equalizing block 5, a temperature equalizing rod 11 and a plurality of heat protection elements.

The heat insulation effect is best, so that a one-dimensional uniform heat flow can be generated at the to-be-tested heat flow meter 9. Moreover, through the above design. When calibrating, since the thermal conductivity coefficient of the temperature equalizing rod 11 is known, the heat flow density flowing through the temperature equalizing rod 11 and the to-be-tested heat flow meter 9 is the same.
