MODEL 4016 : Solar Radiation Sensor
General Description:
The Model 4016 Solar Radiation Sensor provides a practical solution for routine measurement
of solar radiation. The sensor construction is such that it measures the solar energy
that is received from the whole hemisphere. This is the energy flux that is available
for use in solar energy applications, for growth of plants, for air to use in thermal
convection, and for water evaporation.
The Model 4016 Solar Radiation Sensor uses a photodiode detector, which creates a
voltage output that is proportional to incoming radiation. Due to the unique design
of the diffuser, its sensitivity is proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence
of the incoming radiation, allowing for accurate and consistent measurements under
varying sky and placement positions. |
