Relative Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP7

Learn about the benefits of using two probes measuring either the same parameter or two different ones.

In this webinar, we will cover real-life use cases of humidity calculations and answer the most asked questions, such as how to interpret humidity calculator values? What to take into account when adjusting process? 

As one of the world’s leading suppliers of high quality malt products, Viking Malt has investigated the advantages of continuous humidity monitoring inside the malting process at its facility using Vaisala’s Indigo520 and  HMP7 and TMP1 probes.

Isolava began a project to optimize the drying process, led by Project Engineer Peter Vaneyghen. The first step was to install humidity sensors in the dryer in order to get a better understanding of the dynamics of the drying process. The consumption of natural gas alone has decreased by some 20% and the annual savings across all ten dryers add up to hundreds of thousands of euros.

Environmental measurement devices are also becoming smart. Unlike in the past when measurement probes could not be used on their own, the new wave of smart measurement probes can operate independently without additional transmitters. 

High-humidity environments are tough for humidity measurement. Saturation in the environment causes condensation to form on all surfaces including measurement sensors, which can be fatal for some technologies.

Taking measurements in environments with high relative humidity (over 90%) is always a challenge because the environment is so close to saturation.
