Kipp & Zonen has improved its first class normal incidence pyrheliometer. The new CHP 1 pyrheliometer has improved performance and is updated with the latest developments. Following the footsteps of its predecessor, the CHP 1 offers the best accuracy and reliability available.

Highlights are the new detector design that has an improved response time and minimizes the influence of ambient temperature fluctuations. An internal temperature sensor supplier is installed as standard. Moreover the new design is more installation and service friendly thanks to the new signal cable connector specifications and screw-in desiccant cartridge.

The specifications exceed the ISO 9060 ‘First Class’ standard and CHP 1 meets all the requirements for high end solar radiation networks, such as the BSRN (Baseline Surface Radiation Network).

CHP 1 is the best choice available for high accuracy measurements of direct solar radiation for meteorological, climatological and renewable energy research.
