Dew, frost, and soiling on the optical dome of a radiometer all have a significant negative impact as obstructions can lead to bad readings. Ventilation and heating are two ways to deal with this problem.To get the most out of a radiometer, pyranometer, pyrgeometer, and UV sensor, their optical domes need to be clean and dry. Water droplets can scatter incoming photons, while snow or dust blocks light on its way to the detector. To ensure a constant measuring quality, Kipp & Zonen - a brand of OTT HydroMet since 2017 - had started early to develop systems that ventilate and heat their measuring ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
