Humidity Sensor Technologies for evolving Environmental Test Chambers requirements
 
The extreme environmental conditions required in automotive testing need humidity and temperature sensors that can measure up 98%RH and 95°C. These sensors must be highly reliable throughout repeated cyclical testing. Performance of the sensors can be achieved by, starting with using high-quality capacitive polymer sensors, and then adding important features such as warmed probe, sensor purge, and sensor heating. These features can improve performance, stability, and reliability, in addition to being able to measure environmental conditions that conventional humidity sensors are unable to withstand. Vaisala experts will discuss how these features work and how those extreme conditions can be measured.  
 
What the you will learn: 
 

• Capacitive polymer humidity sensor history and benefits  
• How a warmed-probe feature allows measurement in near condensing conditions 
• How a sensor purge feature can reduce chemical vapor-related sensor drift, and its ability to extend calibration intervals
• How sensor heating can aid in recovery of saturated sensors in condensing conditions
