Held the "Thermal Design Online Seminar" on 8/28 (co-hosted with the Structural Planning Institute)!

An online seminar will be held on August 28 in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation and the Structural Planning Institute.

In this seminar, we will hear from a current designer at a parts manufacturer about "Key Points for Actual Measurements Using Thermocouples and Heat Flow Sensors," and we will introduce Toyota's high-sensitivity heat flow sensor "Energy Flow." Additionally, as a case study for verifying the discrepancies between actual measurements and analysis, we will present the thermal analysis of the heat flow sensor demonstration kit and its considerations. If you are working on verifying discrepancies between actual measurements and analysis, or if you are engaged in building technologies for thermal design, thermal analysis, and thermal measurements, we encourage you to take this opportunity to watch!

Thermal design starts with the measurement of thermal energy! Toyota Motor's thermal flow sensor 'Energy flow'

The heat flow sensor is a device that can easily measure heat flux, which is essential for elucidating the mechanisms of temperature change. By converting the electromotive force generated according to the temperature difference between the front and back of the sensor into heat flow, this sensor can measure the "amount" and "direction" of thermal energy passing through its surface with high precision and rapid response. You can download documents summarizing each lineup and detailed specifications from the link below. For product specifications, pricing, and delivery times, please feel free to contact us through our official website. 【Features of Toyota Motor's heat flow sensor "Energy flow"】 ▼ Highly sensitive and responsive, capturing even slight heat flows (±10W/m2 and above) ▼ Thin at 0.25mm with low thermal resistance, flexible, and excellent in compressive load resistance ▼ No power supply or amplifier is needed; just measuring voltage is sufficient.

• Sensors

Realizing next-generation thermal design! Toyota Motor's thermal flow sensor 'Energy flow' visualizes heat flow that cannot be captured by temperature alone.

"Energy flow" refers to a sensor that can only detect convective heat dissipation. While a heat flow sensor measures the combined heat flux of radiation and convection, the convective heat dissipation sensor outputs only the heat flux from convection! Due to differences in the emissivity of the sensor surface, it becomes possible to separate the heat dissipation into convective and radiative components. You can download a document summarizing each lineup and detailed specifications from the link below. Please feel free to read it or contact us. 【What is convection?】 The transfer of heat by fluids such as gases or liquids. Example 1: The phenomenon of hot coffee cooling down. Example 2: The phenomenon of a hot plate cooling down after the power is turned off.

We will be exhibiting at the J AGRI (J Agri) / Agricultural Materials EXPO held at Gran Messe Kumamoto from May 22 (Wednesday) to May 24 (Friday), 2024. 【Booth Number】: B1-43 Outdoor Exhibition Area Japan's largest comprehensive exhibition for agriculture and livestock, Agricultural WEEK, will be renamed J AGRI starting in 2024. This is a place where you can actually see, touch, and compare products. At our booth, we will showcase our lightweight resin flooring boards "JULIGHT / SUPER JULIGHT / RAKURAKUBAN" along with new products. Starting with the agricultural-specific flooring board "RAKURAKUBAN," which can be easily laid in various scenes such as around greenhouses, agricultural work sites, temporary parking lots, for the movement of agricultural machinery and light trucks, and for protecting truck beds, there are various ways to use the lightweight resin flooring boards "JULIGHT / SUPER JULIGHT series." We offer a variety of sizes and protrusion shapes tailored to customer needs, and they are lightweight enough to be carried by hand, with excellent impact resistance, as well as superior water resistance, weather resistance, and durability, providing outstanding features not found in plywood or steel plates. We sincerely look forward to your visit.
