Instrumentation - Assman Psychrometer
The
two dangling thermometers (side-by-side) hang in front of an
orifice which is the opposite end of a tube connected to the
aspirating motor (via a pre-heater hose to a car) connected
outside of the shelter (outside to radiate heat from the motor
away from the measuring devices.) I ran an underground conduit
to the weather shelter from a nearby
electrical source and put a switch
to activate the aspirator inside the shelter. The cylindrical
chrome device to the far left is the *psychrometer which has a
built in motor which draws air past its two thermometers. The
switch operates both devices simultaneously, and the result is
a high level of accuracy.
The small glass container at the
bottom of the photograph is filled with distilled water for
wetting the wet bulb's wick. |
