Lufft introduces new line of climate monitoring sensors to US wind market
By Ann Pattison
Lufft, of Falbach Germany, has been manufacturing precision meteorological monitoring equipment for over 125 years. Last year, Lufft either provided a complete system or a component for 99.9% of all road weather stations installed throughout Europe. This year Lufft moved to the United States for the first time opening its first distributorship in Santa Barbara, California. Lufft exhibited at the AWEA Small Wind and Community Exposition in Detroit, MI November 2-5 2009 where products were met with much excitement from the small wind crowd. Lufft offers a variety of other climatic sensors for use in any environmental condition.
Recently Lufft USA offered a demonstration unit free for six months to anyone interested in testing this product in field applications. Some turbine manufacturers and environmental testing organizations accepted Lufft's offer and will be utilizing the unit this winter. Results will be published in the spring. With a temperature range down to -50 degrees C and accurate measuring range up to 60m/s , The VENTUS model is ideal for wind turbine control applications and precise measurement of wind speed and direction in extreme climates. The anodized aluminum housing is extremely resistant to corrosion and can be installed offshore or near shore. The model includes a 200W heater for use in cold weather climates and covered design with heated roof.
Two years ago, Lufft introduced the WS series of compact ultrasonic weather stations. WS200-WS600 and VENTUS wind sensor models are designed with different levels of functionality to meet specific weather monitoring applications. The top-of-the-range model, WS600- measures temperature, humidity, precipitation, air pressure, wind direction and wind speed. The sensor data can be polled wirelessly through the UMB (Universal Measurement Bus) system.UMB is new technology for recording environmental data. Free firmware updates and data transfer over RS232, RS485 or CDMA modem. All UMB sensors can be polled by means of a standard protocol. To request more information contact sales@lufftusa.com
