FAQs of Dew point sensor:
Q: How does the dew point sensor measure moisture in gases?
A: The sensor utilizes advanced polymer or ceramic technology to detect the dew point by measuring the amount of moisture present in compressed air or industrial gases. It provides accurate readings with a resolution of 0.1C and a response time of less than 30 seconds.
Q: What are the recommended calibration procedures for this sensor?
A: It is advised to calibrate the sensor every 12 months to maintain optimal performance and accuracy (2C dew point). Calibration can be performed using standard procedures provided by the manufacturer, dealer, or authorized service providers.
Q: When should this dew point sensor be used in industrial processes?
A: The sensor is ideal for continuous monitoring of critical points in compressed air dryers, process control systems, and gas analysis applications where dew point measurement is essential for product quality, operational safety, and equipment longevity.
Q: Where can the sensor be installed within an industrial setup?
A: Thanks to its in-line or wall-mounted design and multiple port sizes (1/8 to 1/2 inch NPT), the sensor can be installed directly in piping systems, monitoring panels, or wherever dew point measurement is necessary in industrial settings.
Q: What is the installation process for this dew point sensor?
A: Installation is straightforward due to its compact form factor, 2-meter cable, and standard mounting interfaces. Simply connect the sensor to the desired location, supply it with 24V DC or 230V AC (50/60 Hz), and link to your monitoring system via the preferred interface.
Q: How does this sensor benefit industrial operations?
A: Timely and accurate dew point readings help prevent equipment corrosion, ensure product quality, and reduce maintenance costs. Its fast response, stable output, and automatic operation allow for continuous, worry-free monitoring in demanding environments.
Q: What are the ambient and operating conditions for optimum sensor performance?
A: The sensor is designed for non-condensing environments with ambient temperatures from -40C to +60C, and gas pressures up to 16 bar, ensuring robust operation across a wide spectrum of industrial conditions.
