Ayrox has observe that their client have been demand for more precise light contagion mensuration in greenhouse panel .
Indeed , the former commercially available instrument only measure the vertical sparkle transmission . However , to well mimic real solar radiation , which seldom find vertically , at least in Continental Europe , the of late updated NEN 2675 - 2018 standard requires that light-colored transmission measurement should be done from dissimilar angles of relative incidence , just like the bm of the sun .
Together with Admesy , Ayrox proposes a gadget and a measure service harmonize to the newfangled requirements of the NEN 2675 - 2018 : the Hemispherical Light Transmission cadence ( H - LT meter ) .
" It not only meet the requirements of this measure but outperform them . Indeed , high storey of accuracy are key . For crops such as tomatoes , for example , 1 % extra twinkle brings approximately 0.7 - 1 % surplus production , so growers require a measurement gadget that can be accurate to a 10th of a percentage , which is why the manufacturer , Admesy , ensured that their gimmick follow with this level of truth , " the Ayrox team explains .
Until now , this variety of machine was mainly approachable for research purposes via Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ) . As a result , a similar hemispherical light transmitting measure cock for broad commercial distribution was not available . The H - LT meter fill up this need by providing glassful processors , greenhouse engineers , and growers with an easy - to - use solution that enable precise measuring of hemispherical wakeful contagion and scattering in glasshouse horticulture . Since a particular mountain range of light wavelengths can be more desirable for specific harvest , the H - LT meter is adapt to measure both clean and diffuse panels .
The H - LT metre feature a suspended gonio system surrounded by an enclosing made from in high spirits - end item profile and panels block off external Inner Light and shielding the user from go part , thus insure user safe . With the power to take measurements at various slant between 0 ° and 70 ° ( every 5 ° ) , this equipment offer comprehensive data for analysis . Moreover , its across-the-board wavelength range of 250 nm to 1100 nm , dependent on the discharge spectrum of the loose source , ensures precise evaluation across the full spectrum of interest . The system allow to measure automatically 50x50 centimetre samples made of either glass or other material ; manually , the enclosing is fit for with child samples as well .
To validate the equipment ’s reliability , an interlaboratory equivalence with WUR Business Unit Greenhouse Horticulture was conducted on clear and diffuse samples . Both are within the requirement of 1 % of the average . The spread in results is proven to not exceed ±1 % head for hemispherical transmittance .
" The H - LT meter is a prune - edge tool that address the critical need for exact hemispherical lightsome transmission measurement because the amount of Light Within at once impacts harvest growth and yield . "
