Gill Instruments exhibit at Nor Shipping 2015

Gill Instruments along with long-term distributor Houm, will be exhibiting at Nor Shipping 2015 in Oslo. The event celebrating its 50th anniversary takes place on the 2-5 June 2015 and attracts key players from the International maritime industry.

Gill and Houm will be exhibiting on stand T01-10C displaying a range of wind speed and direction sensors for the marine industry, including the WindObserver and WindSonic range. Our range of marine grade systems deliver proven reliability and quality controlled data for a wide range of marine applications, from ship dynamic position systems to offshore helideck monitoring and have been evaluated in accordance with rigorous environmental and EMC testing to exceed the requirements of IEC-60945.

The WindObserver range, including the Intrinsically safe anemometer, measures 0-75m/s wind speeds, 360◦ wind direction and have certifications available including Lloyds, ATEX and IECEx. For more remote installations, the WindSonicM is maintenance free, easy to install and bird resistant. The WindSonic has been installed onto a large variety of data buoys around the globe to provide dependable wind speed and direction data in remote and challenging environments.

In addition to the anemometer display, MaxiMet compact weather stations will also be available throughout the exhibition. MaxiMet offers the widest range of measurement parameters available in a compact station and is ideal for port control buildings, lighthouses and other marine applications.

For more information on our meteorological instruments for the marine industry visit Gill and Houm on stand T01-10C at Nor Shipping.

Gill’s MaxiMet provides a cost-effective way of monitoring renewable energy data

Gill Instruments will present the new range of MaxiMet compact weather stations on stand L11 at All Energy in Glasgow from the 6th-7th May 2015.

MaxiMet combines the renowned quality and reliability of Gill products into an integrated, easy-to-use and cost-effective compact weather station.

Unique in its ability to offer the widest range of measurement parameters in one compact weather station, the renewables industry can benefit from MaxiMet’s quality data that includes wind, temperature, humidity, solar radiation and precipitation among others, as well as features including low power ‘Eco mode’, GPS, Bluetooth and an in-built compass.

MaxiMet is available in 9 variants, is easy to install, small and portable making it well suited to renewable energy applications. The compact weather station’s diverse range of parameters can be tailored for multiple applications such as providing solar radiation data for solar panels, wind speed, direction and barometric pressure on wind turbines and precipitation measurement in hydropower installations.

MaxiMet’s capabilities of measuring temperature, humidity and pressure, along with its wide range of output options (MODBUS, NMEA and Serial) makes it well suited to provide environmental data for building climate control systems.

Gill Instruments are a well-known provider of ultrasonic anemometers and weather stations for challenging meteorological environments. MaxiMet is the newest in Gill’s long line of solutions for reliable climate information.

The successful WindSonic and WindObserver anemometer range will be on stand L11 throughout All Energy.

Gill Instruments improve sonic temperature performance in 3-axis anemometer range

The leading manufacturer of Ultrasonic Anemometers has announced improvements to the sonic temperature performance of their prestigious 3-axis anemometer range, improving the accuracy to greater than 1% in readings between -18◦C and +30◦C.

Gill Instruments has achieved this significant gain using the National Physical Laboratory’s advanced sound profiling facility and research conducted using in-house computational fluid dynamics (CFD modelling) to examine the transducer production. The result is a new generation of transducer assembly, which benefits from small yet significant design changes to the assembly processes, whilst preserving the high performance of the existing transducer.

To maintain the integrity and continuity of the 3-axis anemometer range, Gill tightly controls the software, electronics, head geometry and transducer to ensure the changes are limited to only improving the performance of sonic temperature.

Used throughout the meteorological research and industrial industries, the popular anemometers simultaneously monitor turbulent fluctuations of wind and sonic temperature in order to accurately calculate sensible heat flux or wind load. With its improved transducer materials and assembly, the Gill anemometer range provides the best performing wind instruments on the market.

“Gill 3-axis anemometers consistently out-perform other sonic anemometers in the measurement of 3-dimensional wind vectors and sensible heat fluxes” says Gill Product Manager, Richard McKay. “Now following recent improvements all Gill 3-axis anemometers can benefit from improved sonic temperature performance. A key advantage is that these improvements maintain the continuity of design and we now have high performance in all conditions”.
