Relative Humidity Sensor
The new RHX probe (patent pending) has been developed in partnership with FPInnovations-Forintek. The probe can measure continuously and in real time the wet bulb temperature of a high temperature gas from a contaminated environment in an industrial process. With its unique electro-mechanical assembly, Airex Industries has managed to offset the restrictive constraints of clogging of highly contaminated particles and unsaturated steam.`
How It Work
The RHX high temperature relative humidity sensor possesses a simple and sturdy mechanism which resists corrosion in extreme industrial conditions. The match-up of this mechanism to a sophisticated control logic provides the RHX sensor with a flexible and precise calibration capacity which adapts itself to any drying conditions.
Detailed Operation
The hot and wet process gases are read by a high precision industrial thermocouple sensor.
The unique electro-mechanical system retracts the probe and cleans it to remove any particulate deposit.
The probe is then introduced into the contaminated air for a subsequent reading of wet bulb.
The control logic searches the data corresponding to the wet bulb and produces a graph of the average reading over time.
All operating parameters are programmable in terms of process.
Advantages
Continuously measures the relative humidity of process air.
Allows to adjust the burner capacity of an industrial dryer for optimization of the fuel consumption in real-time.
Allows to minimize the fresh air intake of an industrial drying process according to atmospheric changes.
Maintains product consistency even with external variations.
Significantly reduces the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG).
Does not affect operating conditions.
Requires little maintenance since a self – cleaning system is integrated in the device.
