Thermal Anemometry


AN - 1005 Hot-Wire Anemometry System


The AN - 1005 is a Portable Compact Thermal Anemometry System (Hot-Wire Anemometer and Hot-Film Anemometer), based on the AN - 1003 Hot-Wire Anemometry System Channels. The Hot-Wire Anemometer Channels Can work in CTA (Constant Temperature Anemometer) Mode as well as CCA (Constant Current Anemometer) Mode (with Option 11). The System has a built-in Microprocessor with Parallel Communication and Data Acquisition Capabilities.

The Mainframe use a Bright LCD Display to Display 4 Channels Simultaneously, using a 5-Digit Voltmeter. A Friendly built-in Menu guides the User through the Operating Procedure. All Analog Signals may be Measured on External BNC’s. However, a High Accuracy Data Acquisition System is built Inside the Mainframe, for High Speed Sampling at upto 500Khz @ 16-bit Resolution (1MHz @ 16-bit Optional). The Data Acquisition is done Directly to any Bi-directional Parallel Port, Eliminating the need for an Expensive A/D Card.

The AN - 1005 is an Ideal Solution for Most Fluid Dynamics Measurements and Aeronautics Measurement Applications. Based on a proven Thermal Anemometry Technique and Cold-Wire Anemometry, the System can Measure the Flow (Air or Liquid Velocity and Turbulence) and Temperature Fluctuations in Real-time, saving data to Disk or Displaying and Analyzing Data.

It’s built-in Optical Isolation Enables the user to get Clean Data, without Any Spikes, Bursts or Other Interferences Common to Anemometry System with a Standard PC Data Acquisition Cards. The Problem of Ground Loops, which Cause Oscillations and Calibration Problems is also Solved due to the Special Architecture and the built-in Data Acquisition System.

Smart Triggering and Clocking modes Enable the User to do Data Reduction as well as Synchronizing External Events to the Acquisition and Analysis / Display Process. This Feature is Ideal for Researchers and Experimentalist doing Fluid Dynamics Research with Machinery, Propellers, Bursts, Blow out Wind Tunnels, Valves, Actuators, Flaps, Stacks etc.

The AN - 1005 Anemometry System is an Advanced Hot-Wire and Hot-Film Anemometry System based on Today’s Technology. The built-in Software, as well as the Digital Hardware can be Updated using Flash Technology, and User may Download New Update Files to the AN - 1005, for Enhancing it with New Features.
