The CA 2 Laboratory Thermopile from Kipp & Zonen, Inc. is designed for measuring radiant fluxes in the wavelength range of 0.2 to 50 ¬µm, making it suitable for various applications including control systems and educational demonstrations. It features a field of view of 20¬8, which allows for focused measurements from specific sources. The thermopile detector is equipped with a spectrally non-selective black coating, ensuring it responds to the total power absorbed. The output signal is a voltage proportional to the radiation received, with a sensitivity range of 7 to 20 ¬µV/W/m¬= and an expected output range of 0 to 30 mV. The device can handle a maximum operational irradiance of 2000 W/m¬= and has a response time of less than 6 seconds for 63% response. The removable glass window can limit the spectral range to 0.3 to 3 ¬µm, providing some shielding against environmental factors that may affect measurements. The CA 2 is suitable for use in clean indoor conditions and comes with a calibration certificate.
With thermopile CA2 radiant fluxes can be measured. It is sensitive to radiation from 0.2 to 50 µm, and has a total field of view of 20 º. The field of view is determined by cylindrical brass housing, that contains a conical reflector and a removable glass window.
The thermopile is very suitable for control (ovens) or demonstration (schools) purposes and can be used for reference-measuremen
The CA2 contains a thermopile detector that has a spectrally non-selective black coating. Therefore, the detector responds to the total power absorbed.
The thermopile output is a voltage that is proportional to the radiation that is received.
Irradiance measurements are easily affected by convection and thermal radiation losses to the environment. Therefore a glass window can shield the detector. By using this window, the spectral range is limited to 0.3 to 3 µm.
The thermopile is delivered with a calibration certificate.
