8141 Self-Aspirated Radiation Shield
Description
The Self-Aspirated Radiation Shield is designed to house temperature and
humidity sensors in an environment protected from the thermal effects of solar
radiation and precipitation. This shield is typically used in applications
where the AC power required by motor-aspirated radiation shields is not available.
Features
The shield is constructed of 12 thermoplastic discs that block direct and
reflected solar radiation from all angles while permitting air flow past the
sensor due to convection and wind. The disc material is specially formulated
for high reflectivity and low thermal conductivity, and is resistant to ultraviolet
light for improved weatherability.
Models
Three models are available to accommodate any one of several temperature
and relative humidity sensors. A threaded hex plug adapter secures the sensor
inside the shield, while providing easy access to the probe at time of calibration.
Mounting
The shield mounts to a vertical mast or tower leg with an outside diameter
of 1-2 inches (25-50 mm). Mounting hardware and sensor hex plug adapter are
included.
