Pyrgeometer
Save energy by measuring the outgoing heat radiation at night
When there are no clouds in the sky, outgoing thermal radiation or heat loss from your glasshouse is higher than at the same outside temperature when it is overcast. This means that during clear nights, the thermal screen should be closed sooner than when it is cloudy. Outgoing radiation is measured using a pyrgeometer. The lower the value measured, the higher the heat loss from the glasshouse. Once connected to your climate computer, the Pygeometer enables the screen to be closed based on the outgoing radiation.

Customer testimonial
Screen control based on the Pyrgeometer
When there are no clouds in the sky, outgoing heat radiation (i.e. heat loss) is much higher than when it is overcast. The Pyrgeometer allows you to measure this type of radiation, also called the ‘net atmospheric heat radiation’. If your screen is controlled based on outgoing radiation, it will close sooner if the outgoing radiation is high and later if the outgoing radiation is low.
