Dew Point Transmitters : Prevent Condensation and Corrosion
Dew point temperature is the temperature at which water vapor in the air will condense into liquid water. It is a more accurate measure of humidity than relative humidity, as it is independent of temperature.
- High Dew Point : Indicates a high moisture content in the air.
- Low Dew Point : Indicates dry air.
The Importance of Dew Point Monitoring
- Preventing Condensation: Condensation can damage equipment, corrode metal, and promote mold growth.
- Protecting Compressed Air Systems: Moisture in compressed air can damage tools, clog lines, and reduce system efficiency.
- Ensuring Product Quality: Moisture can affect the quality of many products, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and electronics.
- Optimizing Drying Processes: Monitoring dew point is crucial for efficient and effective drying of materials.
- HVAC / R : Maintaining proper humidity levels for comfort and preventing condensation problems.
Types of Dew Point Transmitters
- Chilled Mirror Hygrometers : The most accurate type of dew point sensor. They cool a mirror surface until condensation forms, and the temperature at which this occurs is the dew point.
- Capacitive Dew Point Sensors : Measure the change in capacitance of a polymer or ceramic material as it absorbs moisture.
- Resistive Dew Point Sensors : Measure change in electrical resistance.
Applications
- Residential Buildings: Monitoring household energy and water consumption.
- Commercial Buildings: Submetering tenant usage, optimizing building systems.
- Industrial Facilities: Tracking energy and water usage for process optimization and cost control.
- Multi-Family Housing: Allocating utility costs fairly to residents.
- Municipalities: Monitoring water distribution and billing customers.
- Irrigation Systems: Measuring water usage for efficient irrigation.
Key Features to Consider
- Meter Type : Choose the appropriate type of meter for your application (energy or water, mechanical or electronic).
- Flow Rate/Current Range: Select a meter with an appropriate range for your expected consumption.
- Accuracy: Consider the required accuracy level.
- Communication Capabilities: Some meters offer communication options for remote reading and data logging (e.g., pulse output, Modbus, M-Bus, wireless).
- Installation Requirements: Consider ease to install.
- Compliance with Standards: Ensure the meter meets relevant industry standards and regulations.
