Measurement system

Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, a measurement system is provided. This measurement system comprises a heat flow sensor and a housing. The heat flow sensor includes a substrate having electrical insulation and a thermoelectric conversion unit provided on the substrate. The thermoelectric conversion unit is configured to generate an electromotive force on the basis of a temperature gradient along a gradient direction towards the thermoelectric conversion unit from the substrate. The housing is configured to be capable of accepting the heat flow sensor and includes a first wall and a second wall. The first wall is configured to face the substrate. The second wall is configured to cover the heat flow sensor by extending along the gradient direction from the first wall and includes an opening. The opening is configured to pass through the second wall so that at least a portion of the thermoelectric conversion unit is continuous with the outside of the housing without passing through the substrate.
