MeteoShield Professional in agriculture
Accumulation of dirt can be seen on the shield outer louvers which in combination with the internal helical vortex flow protect the temperature and humidity sensor.
MeteoShield Professional - cutaway illustration of air flow
Illustration of how airflow inside the helical radiation shield organizes into a spiral vortex which rejects dirt and feeds fresh air to the sensor.

Helical solar radiation shield is not prone to error from low light angles during sunrize and sunset or from reflected sunlight which plague many multi-plate radiation shield designs.

Proof of vortex flow inside the helical radiation shield MeteoShield professional
Inner black louvers of Meteoshield Professional show ice accumulation on the right side where the airflow is restricted. On the left side free airflow is keeping the black surface clean. This difference in flow is the proof of how the internal spiral vortex protects sensors from ice or dirt accumulation.
