TRANSDUCER OF INTEGRAL RATE OF HEAT FLOW Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: measurement technology, control of heat flows of various objects. SUBSTANCE: transducer of integral rate of heat flow has case, two electrodes located in it, made of one and same material and interclosed electrically, electrolyte arranged between electrodes in surface contact with them which has ion conductance of material of electrodes. Distinguishing feature of proposed transducer consists in insertion of third electrode made from same material as two electrodes mentioned above. It is placed between mentioned electrodes and is closed with them. Electrodes can be manufactured from copper and electrolyte can be prepared from aqueous-alcohol solution of copper sulfate. Electrodes can also be manufactured from silver and electrolyte - from silver iodide. Third electrode can have at least one hole communicating with outer surfaces. It may have surface smaller than that of each of the two electrodes. EFFECT: enhanced functional stability and reliability. 5 cl, 3 dwg
