Thermometers.


The Sniper Model 300 battery-powered, noncontact infrared thermometer Infrared thermometers measure temperature using blackbody radiation (generally infrared) emitted from objects. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers  is said to offer rugged construction design for hostile environments See: operational environment. . This instrument package runs on a 12 volt volt [for Alessandro Volta], abbr. V, unit of electric potential and electromotive force. It is defined as the difference of electric potential existing across the ends of a conductor carrying a constant current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated is 1 watt.  battery supply. Each Sniper Model 300 system consists of two separate modular units, an optical sensor head and an electronic signal processor/computer. The two items are connected together by an instrument cable. This small instrument package operates on a single 12 volt DC battery. The instrument package has found use in applications such as tire temperature sensing during racing meets, railroad train wheel bearing temperature sensing and farm tractor use where battery power was a requirement for instrument use. The 300 Series includes instruments individually designed for measuring specific materials at particular temperature ranges and infrared energy wavelengths. Air purge To eliminate or delete.  and water cooling Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components. As opposed to air cooling, water is used as the heat transmitter. Water cooling is commonly used for cooling internal combustion engines in automobiles and electrical generators.  ported sensor cases are available.
