Self Aspirated Radiation Shield (SARS)
Passive Self Aspirated Radiation Shield for temperature and humidity probes, providing solar-radiation and precipitation protection with natural airflow and no powered fan requirement.
Typical Applications
- Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS)
- Airport temperature and humidity monitoring
- Remote meteorological stations
- Low-power weather monitoring installations
- Temperature and humidity probe protection
- Professional outdoor weather stations
The Self Aspirated Radiation Shield (SARS) provides passive protection for temperature and humidity sensing probes by shielding them from the thermal effects of direct and reflected solar radiation and precipitation. Its ten-disc thermoplastic construction allows natural convection and ambient wind to circulate air around the probe without powered aspiration, making the 8141 Series especially suitable for remote and low-power meteorological installations where AC power for a motor-aspirated shield is unavailable.
Key Features
- Passive self-aspirated sensor protection
- No motor or powered fan required
- Ten-disc radiation shield construction
- Blocks direct and reflected solar radiation
- Protects sensing probes from precipitation
- High-reflectivity and low-thermal-conductivity material
- UV-resistant thermoplastic construction
- Supports multiple temperature and humidity probe families
- Easy probe access for calibration
Passive aspiration eliminates fan power consumption and fan maintenance while still allowing ambient air to circulate naturally around the sensing probe, making SARS particularly useful for remote meteorological stations and low-power monitoring sites.
