When do I need a heated anemometer at my
installation site?
If you need to ensure maximum data
availability regardless of the weather conditions.
If you need to ensure maximum data
availability with added confidence at remote locations.
If your site is prone to freezing rain or
other forms of freezing precipitation.
If you experience prolonged durations of
snowfall at your site.
If temperatures fall below 5ºC (approx 40º
F) and condensation starts to form on metallic surfaces either on the anemometer or around
your site.
The range of heated ultrasonic
anemometers have a heating element that has a uniquely high heating efficiency,
where relatively low power input is needed (only the key areas are heated when required).
This will allow the sensors to operate in condensing environments with temperatures
down to -40º C (-40º F).
There are 4 heated models to choose from:

The benefits of using a heated
ultrasonic anemometer from Biral
Generally all ultrasonic
anemometers have the following features:
- reliable measurement of horizontal wind speed and direction
- no moving parts
- require no maintenance
- provide excellent repeatability of data and error accuracy
- those with both digital and analogue
- can be easily interface / connection to existing systems
- data can be polled, output automatically or averaged
Features
specific to the Wind Horizon, Wind Professional and Wind Research range of ultrasonic
sensors:
- rugged stainless steel construction suitable for use in
harsh conditions
- transducers are housed within the stainless steel body
eliminating danger of salt spray and damage from birds
- user adjustable real-time data quality checks
- high heating efficiency, where relatively low power input is
needed as only the key areas are heated when required which also avoids unnecessary power
loss
- all data is date time stamped
- The heated sensors are flexible and can be customised
incorporating features from more than one model.
The sensors are of an extremely high quality
designed to give many years of reliable and accurate service.
These sensors have a unique data
quality checking system whereby each instantaneous measurement is checked and the result
recorded in the output data string as a percentage of reliability (i.e. 100% would
indicate that you can have total confidence in the measurement whereas 80% would suggest
that an external or environmental influence is affecting measurement accuracy and you
should be aware of this).
Why buy from Biral
Biral provides free after sales support by
telephone, fax and email for the life time of these sensors.
Biral are able to offer service, repair and
calibration if required
Biral have been supplying scientific measuring
instruments for over 30 years.
Each customer is important to us and we always
aim to provide our customers with the best service possible.
