Triton Heater Datasheet

A propane-fueled, catalytic mirror heater system that prevents snow and ice from accumulating on the Triton mirror The Vaisala Triton Mirror Heater System uses circulating fluid to keep the aluminum sound mirror warm, preventing the accumulation of snow and ice. Snow on the mirror blocks the transmitted and received sound beams and is detrimental to data quality. A propane-fueled catalytic heater heats the circulating antifreeze which is pumped through tubes behind the mirror, in a radiator-style design. The catalytic reaction produces no open flame.
