Abstract
A heat flow monitoring system comprising a heat flow sensor and a meter which is powered by the current from the sensor. The sensor includes a multiplicity of thermoelectric elements in series, mounted to have a hot side and a cool side, such that heat flux in either direction will create an emf sufficient to drive the meter and indicate heat flux values in terms of BTU/ft..sup.2 -hr. and/or watts/cm.sup.2. The meter circuit may include resistances for adjustment to different ranges of heat flux values.
