The newly developed compact Ultrasonic Anemometer is setting new standards in the measurement of wind velocity and direction. This cutting-edge device simultaneously captures the two-dimensional horizontal components of wind velocity, wind direction, and acoustic-virtual air temperature with unparalleled precision.
The Ultrasonic Anemometer provides a comprehensive suite of measurement values, including orthogonal wind velocity vectors (X- and Y-distance), scalar/vectorial wind velocity, wind direction, acoustic-virtual temperature, NMEA data protocol, ASCII Thies format, and analog data output.
Designed for versatility, this instrument is ideal for a wide range of applications:
- Renewable power generation and wind power plants
- Industrial automation
- Wind warning devices, building construction, and control
- Traffic control
- Marine applications
- Meteorology
- Climatology
What sets this anemometer apart is its inertia-free measurement principle, which offers superior precision and accuracy compared to traditional anemometers. Measurement values can be output digitally or in analog form, either as instantaneous values or as gliding mean values over a selectable time frame.
To ensure reliable operation in freezing conditions, the Ultrasonic Anemometer is equipped with integrated heating, which minimizes the risk of icing-related malfunctions. Both the sensor arms and the ultrasonic sensors, along with housing parts, are heated to maintain functionality even in harsh weather conditions.
This innovative device operates in half duplex (HD) mode and holds patents EP 1 448 966 B1 and US 7,149,151 B2, underscoring its advanced technological design and proprietary measurement capabilities.
