T40-Series Icing Rate Sensors
The T40 series
of Icing Rate Sensors is developed and designed to
indicate the percents of the whole spectra
of atmospheric ice.
 Historically
it has been impossible to
indicate Clear-Ice using
optical metrology.
Due to T40 unique design this
is now
possible with HoloOptics Icing Rate Sensor.
Extreme and
aggressive weather is no issue for the
T40 series.
The sensor has a solid body built in
stainless
steel, developed and designed for worst
possible
environments.
T40
series is designed for mounting on weather
stations,
ships, towers, aircrafts and wind power
stations
etc.
T40 is delivered with an internally
controlled probe
heating. The probe
de-ice system will enable T40
to control
or to be in cooperation of an external de-heating or
safety
system. The probe de-ice system
guarantees that T40 is prepared for the
next
indication.
The probe heating is
tuned on and off with
programmable
time delay.
An internal temp sensor
turns off the probe heating if temperature is
above
+10°C. This function may be override externally
for testing etc.
The sensor is
also programmable to give an warning signal if the icing
is
above a specified level.
A health test makes it possible to check
the performance of the sensor.
The
sensor is working even if the health test fails, but
with reduced
performance. If the test
fails we recommend a service visit
within
3 mounts.
Data can be stored on all
common memories. Connect T40
to a network,
computer or a data-logger and T40 will start transfer
data.
A
status signal checks the system.
A
quick connector makes the installation easy.
T40
are engineered, designed, and manufactured using the
latest
equipment for accurate placement
and alignment of the optics.
Throughout
the manufacturing process, rigid quality control standards
are given to all elements of the Indicator,
from materials to
measuring equipment.
Other main
characteristics of the T40 Series
:
- Fast and
Exact Detection.
- No moving
parts.
- Used as
an ice indicator indicates ice-layers down
to 5-10 g / m
2 .
- Sensitivity
is between 5 - 3400 g / m
2 h.
- Small Dimensions
/ Easy to Install.
- Digital.
- Real time
or near real time.
- High Performance
/ High Reliability.
- Internal
De-ice system -- without de icing 1,5W with de icing
activated 60W or more (more than 1 000 W/m 2 ).
- Voltage
supply -- between 12 and 48V.
- Status
signal -- warning if the detector is u/s.
- Health
test -- advanced warning if the detector is working
but
with the performance degraded. Manual or
automatic.
