Nth test for the Davis heaters.
It is confirmed that the snow is very cold.
So far, the heaters have had a good test, passed the heavy snowfall in Bagergue November, nearly 70 mm. of precipitation as snow in a row between some of the 7th and 8th of that month. Not excessively cold temperatures certainly helped the snow was melting at a rapid pace.
With lower temperatures is certain that the merger does not occur so directly, but unless it were a very intense snowfall, I see too much trouble for the heater to fulfill its mission.
Man, if a snow fall equivalent to 50 mm. of rainfall in 24 hours and temperatures of 5 or 6 below zero, surely would have problems to go around, but beware that a snowfall of this magnitude, at this temperature, it is very dry snow, between the meter and the meter and a half, I would say y. .. How many of these we see the snow out of winter? Ojo And this assumes that the snow fall to lead, because I continue saying that the big problem is not any rain gauge their ability to melt the snow but the wind let this be deposited in it.
When we placed the Davis Bagergue Unha and discuss what might happen I was intrigued with the occurrence of snow at 10 below zero or above in the sense that all that melting snow is deposited on top of the thermometer shelter could freeze and plug the water drains the rain gauge. I think that possibility may exist in areas like Gento Estany more than 2,100 meters.
Let's see some images that can help you understand what I say:
At the moment they are testing the evacuation of heaters are working perfectly in Estany Gento -7.4 º C and 0.6 mm. (At 19.30) and Llanos del hospital (CyNP) -7.4 º C and 0.6 mm. (To 2145)
I hope not jump leads, in the case of Estany Gento mean the loss of the heater for the remainder of winter.
Pass the test.
Since the time this winter I have successfully passed all tests, although of course, the cold snow would not have been seen as too heavy.
How do I know that the invention not work?
If the temperature inside the rain gauge, approximately 25 º C not managed to keep open the evacuation zone, run the risk, I estimate that from the equivalent of 15 mm. of precipitation that does not evacuated to a level to achieve the electrical heater. Obviously so far (about 15 mm.) Precipitation would be filed.
Well as a number has not fallen and remain working heaters is clear that everything went well.
