Humidity Sensors
Humidity sensors measure and track the amount of moisture in the air by converting readings into electrical signals used for system control in HVAC systems, data centers, server rooms, and other environments where controlling humidity is essential. Humidity control is important in specific environments because it helps protect health, equipment, and product quality....Read more
These sensors provide HVAC systems with relative humidity readings which can prevent mold growth and bacteria which is key in operating rooms and cleanrooms in healthcare facilities. Humidity sensors are also a necessity in commercial office buildings by keeping indoor air quality at a healthy level and supporting occupant comfort.
One of the signs that humidity sensors are failing is incorrect humidity readings which can be readings that are too low or too high compared to actual conditions. Other indications are humidifiers or dehumidifiers that fail to start when needed, and HVAC systems not adjusting temperature or airflow based on humidity. Thermostats and control boards displaying error messages related to sensing humidity is another clue humidity sensors could be malfunctioning.
Including humidity sensors in preventative maintenance is vital to ensure your HVAC system is running at optimal levels. The sensor housings and connectors should be checked for dust or corrosion. Sensors should also be cleaned by using compressed air. A calibrated hygrometer should be used to verify sensor readings by comparing sensor output with the hygrometer.
