Deicing system in sodar systems

A system for heating the sound-reflective mirror surface (40) of a phased array monostatic sodar apparatus (1000). The system has a heat source (70) located at a position that is spaced from the mirror (40), a control system (221) that controls the operation of the heat source (70), a working fluid...

Zusammenfassung:A system for heating the sound-reflective mirror surface (40) of a phased array monostatic sodar apparatus (1000). The system has a heat source (70) located at a position that is spaced from the mirror (40), a control system (221) that controls the operation of the heat source (70), a working fluid (50) that is heated by the heat source (70) and used to transfer heat from the source (70) to the mirror (40), and a delivery system (60, 80, 90) that constrains the heated working fluid (50) and delivers it from the heat source (70) to the mirror (40).
