Humidity Measurement

The measurement of pressure dew point in compressed air systems or gas distribution networks has become more important recently. Manufacturers worldwide are getting aware of negative effects of having too much moisture in the air / gas pipes, as it can cause:


Corrosion in the pipes
Reduces lifespan of pneumatic parts
Failures in actuators
Contamination of compressed air system in general
Unscheduled production stops.
Incalculable additional production costs

Dryers used to remove moisture from gas, are not always performing as they intend to do, mostly caused by a poor maintenance. Humidity measurement acts as a kind of insurance system, monitoring the dryer performance and indicating alarms whenever values are out of valid ranges. As a result it provides:


Fast responses to failures in compressed air drying through permanent monitoring of pressure dew point.
Increase the lifespan of compressed air system and it components.
Make maintenance of the compressed air system more efficient.
Ensures stable quality of products through less problems in operation of the system

But humidity measurement is not only restricted to applications in air / gas drying. There are many more processes in industry where a well monitored dew point is crucial for the overall process and the quality of the products.

Applications for dew point monitoring:


Plastic injection and blow molding
High voltage switch gears and transformers
Spray painting process
Bottle filling
Medical gases
Pipeline drying

Compressed air is used in brake systems and door openers of rail vehicles. It has to be free of any condensate otherwise the brake system and the pneumatic door openers may freeze in winter and corrosion damages in the distribution network and at pneumatic components (cylinders, valves) can occur. For this reason a regular dew point measurement is essential.

The humidity sensor provides reliable and long term stable dew point monitoring in industrial applications. The newly developed sensor features improved signal and stability in demanding industrial applications. Drifts caused by temperature changes, dust and aging are eliminated by the electronics providing reliable measurements. Recalibration interval thus could be increased to 2 years.

The measured dew point is output via a 4-20 mA signal output. The integrated display shows online measurement values and alarm status. One alarm can be programmed which will activate a relay.

Benefits


Humidity sensor for low dew point applications down to -80 oC
Graphic display, relay output
IP65 casing provides robust protection in rough environment
Very fast response time ensures safe and reliable indication
Can be installed directly into dryers through G 1/2" thread
High accuracy of ±2 oC dew point

Install A WiFi Sensor to Get Accurate and Fast Measurement of Temperature

Do you run a hospital, blood bank, pharmacy, food services, or a data center? Then, perhaps you have already seen how temperature plays a huge role maintaining the quality of medical products such as medicines, blood products, and other pharmaceutical goods. Moreover, in hospitals, increased humidity can create numerous health problems and make patients feel uncomfortable. So, to avoid all these things you need to control the temperature appropriately. That is why you need to keep a constant track of the temperature.

Though, humidity in air is necessary to some extent, but if it exceeds the recommended level, medicines and blood products can get damaged. Even breathing and indoor plants can form moisture. Moreover, we unknowingly produce moisture by various water based activities like washing, cleaning, bathing, cooking, and so on. All these activities can increase the moisture level. Apart from that, medical instruments can produce a lot of heat as high voltage electricity is flowing through them continuously. So, ultimately, the heat is affecting the normal temperature of the room. This is why temperature must be measured accurately. And, the best way to do this is installing WiFi sensors to measure the level of humidity.

WiFi sensors are used to measure and get the accurate reports of relative humidity (RH) present in the air. These devices can be installed with heating, ventilating, and air conditioning units (HVAC). It will convert the report into digital reading to help you get the precise measurement of the moisture present in the air. These devices are widely used in health departments, hospitals, multi-location medical facilities, and many other health care services. Because of their effectiveness and accuracy, they can measure temperatures down to -200' C. In case it detects a poor temperature condition, it will alert you instantly along with the necessary actions you need to take to improve the air quality.

A quality WiFi sensor have the following features:

* They are battery powered. So, in case there's a power cut and you don't have immediate backup, your WiFi sensor won't stop working.

* The sensor nodes of WiFi sensors communicate directly with Industry Standard Access Points. That means, more accuracy without wasting any time.

* You don't need to attach any other devices with the WiFi sensors. So, that eliminates the hassle of purchasing expensive devices like routers, hosts, repeaters, and receivers.

* These devices are capable of using all types of WPA, WPA2, and WEP encryption.

Remember, your first priority is to get in touch with a reputed company selling WiFi sensors that have all the features mentioned above.

SensoScientific, Inc. is a renowned company committed to provide quality WiFi sensor specifically designed to handle all the requirements of hospitals, labs, blood banks, and other medical centers.
