What are the common applications of ultrasonic wind speed sensors?

In the application of ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor, the ultrasonic wind speed sensor has the characteristics of light weight, no moving parts, sturdiness and durability, and does not require maintenance and on-site calibration. It can output wind speed and direction at the same time. Wind speed changes often show changes in wind data at the current time. Therefore, wind speed sensors are often used in many tasks in meteorology, geography and other fields. So what are the applications of our common wind speed sensors? What?

Application in the field of new energy development

Most of the new energy development work is actually carried out in a relatively open environment, especially for the development of wind and solar energy. Because the installation environment is often very open, some important equipment is very susceptible to changes in wind speed. In order to avoid changing wind speeds from affecting the normal use of solar panels or wind turbines, wind-cup wind speed sensors in the field of new energy development in China have also been widely used.

Application in industry and mining

Whether it is a coal mine or a multi-metal mining process, it is often necessary to pay attention to the changes in some gas composition in the mine. Therefore, most mines usually integrate a variety of gas sensor equipment while paying attention to the operation of the ventilation system. The wind speed sensor is used to monitor the ventilation effect inside the mine. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of coal mine safety production, relevant departments of ultrasonic wind transducer has also introduced regulations for the use of wind speed sensors in the mine environment.

Application on tower crane

Generally, in order to ensure the progress of construction projects, most tower cranes are usually equipped with wind speed sensor equipment. Its existence can allow the crane to issue an alarm when the high wind affects the crane's work, but when the high wind has begun to affect the crane's work, It is often necessary to pay attention to the change of wind direction, so as to respond to the wind of different wind directions, so some cranes have already used wind direction sensor equipment.

Application in coal mine

The ultrasonic transducer sensor installed in the mine often has different models and different working powers. Therefore, it is necessary to use wind speed sensor equipment to monitor the wind speed value of each ventilation channel to prevent the ventilation rate at a certain location from being too low. The phenomenon that the concentration of harmful gases is too high appears. In fact, in order to ensure the safe production of large, medium and small coal mines, according to relevant regulations, wind speed sensor equipment should be installed in coal mines, and wind speed sensor equipment should be installed in every mining area, wing return airway and total return airway. , And the tunneling face is part of the mining area, so the tunneling face needs to be installed with a wind speed sensor. The tunneling face is more prone to harmful gases. In fact, there is another main reason why wind speed sensors need to be installed in the tunneling face. Generally, harmful gases such as methane, carbon monoxide, and gas in coal mines often emerge from the tunneling face with the highest probability, and some gases even form "air chambers" underground. The gas in the coal mine is directly some harmful gas, so it is necessary to install wind speed sensors and connect ventilation equipment at every position in the coal mine.

Meteorological applications

In the field of meteorology, it is usually necessary to observe many kinds of natural phenomena, such as changes in wind speed and weather, and of course changes in wind direction. For wind direction measurement, wind direction meters or wind direction sensor devices are basically used to solve this problem.

Measurement of ultrasonic transducer sensor in surface wind direction: In the control of wind and sand in deserts and plateau areas, people usually need to pay attention to the speed of airflow and changes in wind direction, so that more meteorological data can be grasped, and a more reliable control plan can be formulated at the same time. Meteorological equipment such as a wind direction sensor is used throughout the process.

Marine storm warning: It can be said that the marine weather warning system is one of the important applications of ultrasonic wind direction sensors in the meteorological field. The wind direction change data provided by the marine weather warning system is one of the important parameters for predicting the coverage of typhoons and the "operation" trajectory.

Customers can choose the wind speed unit, output frequency and output format according to their needs. You can also select a heating device (recommended for use in cold environments) or analog output according to your needs. It can be used in conjunction with a computer, data collector or other collection equipment with RS485 or analog output. If necessary, multiple units can also be used to form a network. ultrasonic anemometer is a relatively safe instrument for measuring wind speed and direction. because it overcomes the inherent shortcomings of mechanical anemometers, it can work normally all-weather and for a long time, and it is more and more widely used. It will be a powerful substitute for mechanical anemometers.
