Kipp & Zonen Ventilation System with Integrated Heater for CM6B, CM11B, CM21, CG1 and CG4

Brochure

General Description

The CV2 Ventilation System is designed to reduce system maintenance and enhance the operational performance of Kipp & Zonen CM6B, CM11, and CM21 pyranometer models, under all weather conditions. The CV2 can also be used in conjunction with Kipp & Zonen CG1 and CG4 pyrgeometer models.

The internal blower fan of the CV2 generates an airflow current that moves across the body of the mounted sensor, exiting through the ventilation cover exhaust port, and creating a laminar airflow across the sensors dome surface. The resulting effect is excellent dew, frost, and snow deposition prevention on the sensors dome surface, as well as reduced overall system maintenance.

The CV2 has also been specifically engineered to promote optimal thermal equilibrium between the sensors dome and body surfaces; thus causing a notable reduction in infrared (IR) offset effect, and improving operational performance.

Benefits

Dew, frost, and snow deposition prevention
Dome IR offset suppression
DC voltage operation (remote sensing applications)
Built-in resistive heating option (arctic/cold weather applications)
