Active Sensor for Measurement of Freezing Point Temperature
The active sensor IT-ARCTIS (Active Road / Runway Condition Temperature of Ice Formation Sensor) allows measuring the exact active freezing point by cooling the sensor itself down to 15°C below the current pavement temperature.
The freezing point temperature of the de-icing agent-water-dust mixture located on the surface of the sensor is measured independently from the used de-icing agent. This is particularly significant for airports, where on aviation areas salt is not allowed to be used for de-icing.
The required accuracy for freezing point temperature measurement, as defined in the European Standard EN 15518, is ensured.
The direct RS485 output provides outstanding flexibility in any existing and future Boschung systems as well as in other independent systems, such as Traffic Management Systems.
