PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Provide four (4) Heitronics Infrared Radiation Pyrometer, Model KT19.85II or equivalent, 9.6-11.5 um, 2.5 FOV w/VS921 vacuum – tight germanium lens, RS-232 interface, four (4) analog outputs, -100 to 50C temperature range, response time : 5msec to 10 minute programmable, accuracy: +/- 0.4 C @ -20C (1 second response time). Provide four (4) Heitronics Infrared Radiation Pyrometer, Model KT19.99 or equivalent, 14-16 um, 2.5 FOV w/ VS921 vacuum – tight germanium lens, RS-232 interface, four (4) analog outputs, -100 to 50 C temperature range, response time: 5msec to 10 minute programmable, accuracy: +/- 0.4 C @ -20C (1 second response time). NOAA Aircraft Operations Center operates two P-3 aircraft in support of atmospheric research. Each aircraft measures and records a variety of atmospheric parameters including sea surface temperature (SST) and CO2 temperature. AOC currently uses Barnes/Pyrometer Instrument pyrometric sensors with custom control units designed and built at AOC. The sensors have provided accurate temperature measurement over the years but have reached the end of their service life. Barnes/Pyrometer Instrument has not done significant improvements to their sensor/control unit in many years. Replacement sensors and control electronics are expensive and are large heavy components that do not utilize many of the advances that have taken place in infrared radiometer measurements and smart sensor technology over the years. A cost effective, modern compact replacement sensor that meets or exceeds current accuracy and performance capability is needed. Measurement of SST and CO2 temperature from the NOAA P-3 aircraft is done using infrared radiation detectors. To keep size and complexity to a minimum, non cooled detectors are preferred. Pyroelectric sensors provide the best detectivity, response time, reliability and stability of the non cooled infrared detectors available. Pyrometric detectors do no respond to absolute radiation intensities but to changes in radiation. Mechanical choppers that mirrored surfaces are used to periodically interrupt the incident radiation from the target to the detector. During each interruption the detector is exposed to a reference source inside the radiometer. The chopped radiation method minimizes/eliminates temperature drift, reduces signal noise, and provides excellent dependability, accuracy, response time. The replacement instruments must utilize an uncooled pyroelectric sensor with a chopped radiation method of detection. A spectral response of 9.6 to 11.5 microns for SST radiometers and 14 to 16 microns for CO2 temperature radiometers is required. Lens assemblies must be vacuum-tight Germanium lenses with a 2.5 degree field of vies (FOV). Standard temperature range for the instruments must span -75 to 50 C. Options must include selectable response time, multiple programmable analog output signals, RS-232 serial interface, and adjustable emissivity/reflectivity (see specifications below). The Heitronics Infrared Radiation Pyrometers, Model KT19.85-II (SST) and Model KT19.99 (CO2), meets the above requirements for accurately measuring sea surface and CO2 temperatures from the NOAA P-3 Research Aircraft.
