Abstract
A heat flow sensor (WFS) and use thereof, which heat flow sensor should have the lowest possible invasiveness and nevertheless is robust enough to satisfy the requirements of individual applications. For this purpose, the heat flow sensor includes an active sensor element, which is provided with a highly thermally conductive heat-conducting element (8, 9) on the cold side and on the hot side, wherein the sensor element is covered or encased by an extremely thin, electrically strongly insulating, chemically inert, and strongly adhering protective layer (6).
