The IDS-20 is the first non-contact ice detection sensor to register ice formation and freezing rain known as black ice. Thanks to the simple and flexible method of assembly, it can be used in various application areas such as weather forecasting and condition monitoring of (SOAB asphalt) roads, wind turbines, overhead wires, antennas, railways and airports.
The system includes a central controller and can be equipped with a combination of two of the three different sensors at the same time, making it possible to measure from just 0.01 mm to 80 mm of ice thickness.
Parameters:
- Icing
- Rain
- Dew point, frost point
- Air temperature and humidity
- Analysis quantity and duration of icing events
- Recognition of freezing rain
- Detection of icing and freezing rain, distinguish between ice and water.
- Ice detection: 0.01mm to 80mm ice thickness by using different sensors:
- IDS-Cube 1 sensor, measuring range from 0.01 mm to 1 mm, intended for the recognition of extremely fine ice layers (Icing) and ice deposits.
- IDS-Cube 5 sensor is intended to measure ice sheets and ice deposits from 0.1mm to 5mm.
- The rod sensor designed to measure total ice thickness, 1mm to 80mm, throughout the season or year.
- Suitable for existing and new systems, simple and fast installation.
- Maintenance-free operation (IP-66), low power consumption.
- Parameters: ice formation, rain, dew point, freezing point, air temperature and humidity.
- Analysis: quantity and duration of icing events.
