WHAT DOES PYRHELIOMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pyrheliometer

Pyrheliometer

A pyrheliometer is an instrument for measurement of direct beam solar irradiance. Sunlight enters the instrument through a window and is directed onto a thermopile which converts heat to an electrical signal that can be recorded. The signal voltage is converted via a formula to measure watts per square metre. It is used with a solar tracking system to keep the instrument aimed at the sun. A pyrheliometer is often used in the same setup with a pyranometer.

Definition of pyrheliometer in the English dictionary

The definition of pyrheliometer in the dictionary is an instrument for measuring the intensity of the sun's radiant energy.
