CHP1 Pyrheliometer
The CHP1 pyrheliometer is the most commonly used radiometer for the measurement of direct normal irradiance (DNI) and offers high accuracy and reliability.
The instrument has a quartz window to cover the total solar spectrum of solar radiation between 200 to 4000 nm.
CHP1 is has a high quality connector for easy installation and maintenance, the screw-in drying cartridge is easy to remove and replacement desiccant is supplied in convenient refill packs.
Kipp & Zonen SOLYS sun trackers are supplied pre-fitted with the mountings for a CHP1.
As standard CHP1 comes fitted with both 10 kΩ thermistor and Pt-100 and temperature sensors; so that the small temperature dependency of sensitivity can be corrected in post-processing using the supplied test data.
The CHP1 is the perfect choice for high accuracy direct solar irradiance measurements.
