•A novel approach to investigate the local heat flux in PHPs is presented and tested.•A infrared camera acquired the temperature maps on the external wall of the PHP.•Infrared imaging is performed on a single loop PHP designed with sapphire inserts.•The values of the heat exchanged between the fluid and the wall are estimated.•The results are a breakthrough for developing and validating CFD simulations of PHP.
