Fundamentals of Humidity Measurement

Technical Specifications
The measurement of air humidity plays an important role in many branches of industry, e.g. during drying or in the air conditioning of buildings and vehicles. There are different measuring methods to determine humidity.
A Peltier cooling element is used for dehumidification. An ultrasonic atomiser is used for humidification. To circulate the air and ensure good mixing a fan is used. The core element of the trainer is a climatic chamber with transparent door. This chamber can be humidified and dehumidified and contains the four instruments.
The trainer enables the measurement of air humidity with four different instruments which can be directly compared to each other: two different hygrometers, a capacitive hygrometer and a psychrometer.
Psychrometers operate based on the principle of evaporation cooling and compare the ambient temperature with the wet bulb temperature to determine the humidity. Hygrometers utilise the property of specific fibres, e.g. hair, to expand with increasing air humidity. In the capacitive sensor the di electricity constant of a layer and with it its capacity changes due to the water molecules absorbed.
