Relative humidity (%RH) is a measurement of how much water vapor is in the air compared to how much water vapor could be in the air. Monitoringrelative humidityis important in a variety of environments, from office spaces to operating rooms to industrial manufacturing.
What is relative humidity?
Relative humidity can either help or hinder an environment from operating properly. Too high of a humidity can shorten the shelf life of medications or encourage the growth of viruses, bacteria, and other common irritants such as mold. Too low of a humidity inflames the mucous membranes, thus irritating the nose and the throat. By monitoring relative humidity, the occupants of an environment can make any necessary adjustments to maintain the proper %RH.
In an office space, monitoring humidity can help preventsick building syndrome, which results in acute health and comfort issues from spending lots of time in a building environment. Monitoring humidity is critical in environments other than offices, including cleanrooms, operating rooms, patient isolation rooms, pharmaceutical labs, industrial manufacturing, and compounding pharmacies. In these environments, the wrong humidity can have severe consequences.
Setra has a solution
Setra's newHumidity product line在2019年AHR展会上展出的新型传感器，旨在连续监测关键环境中的相对湿度和温度。湿度产品线兼容BACnet和Modbus。多功能管道或墙壁安装与遥感的一些型号的选择，湿度产品线可以适应许多不同的环境。
With quarter-turn bayonet screws and easily accessible electrical connections, humidity monitor install is simple. The faceplate of the sensors provides great protection against both contaminates and condensation. And with this protection, the faceplate provides stability for the sensor even in aggressive or polluted environments.
Accuracy matters
Accuracy plays an important role in monitoring relative humidity in critical environments. The less accurate a sensor, the higher the risk of the %RH negatively impacting an environment. To combat the potential inaccuracy of sensors, Setra accounts for non-linearity,hysteresis, and repeatability in the accuracy of our products.
