What Is a CLIMOMASTER Anemometer?
The CLIMOMASTER anemometer is a multifunctional anemometer developed by Kanomax, Japan. It is designed for measuring indoor environments and can simultaneously measure wind speed, air temperature, and humidity. Notable for its high accuracy of 2%, the CLIMOMASTER anemometer operates in a broad temperature range from -20°C to 70°C. Users can switch probes based on their specific requirements, making it suitable for diverse applications such as indoor air environment assessment and HVAC system maintenance.
Applications of the CLIMOMASTER Anemometer
Key applications of the CLIMOMASTER anemometer include:
- Indoor environment assessment, in compliance with the Building Sanitation Law.
- Maintenance and management of air conditioning systems in buildings and factories.
- Assessment of smoke separation effectiveness under the Health Promotion Law.
- Evaluation of air velocity in electronic devices for cooling effectiveness.
- Performance testing in various industrial sectors.
Principle of the CLIMOMASTER Anemometer
The CLIMOMASTER anemometer operates on the principles of a hot-wire anemometer and a capacitive hygrometer:
1. Hot-Wire Anemometer Principle
It measures wind speed by detecting changes in resistance or current caused by airflow impacting a heated sensor. The device uses a constant-temperature type hot-wire anemometer for superior feedback control.
2. Hygrometer Principle
The capacitive type hygrometer in the CLIMOMASTER measures humidity based on changes in capacitance caused by moisture absorption and desorption in a polymer thin film.
Features of the CLIMOMASTER
The CLIMOMASTER anemometer is portable, yet offers a range of functions and high measurement accuracy. It features eight types of interchangeable probes, catering to various wind speed measurement ranges and applications, including omnidirectional probes for measuring wind speed without concern for orientation.
