Application
Areas of applicationIn many industrial processes, exact and continuous humidity and temperature measurement are indispensible. The most important areas of application for the hygrotest are;
- continuous monitoring and controlling of climate (e.g. production air quality and storage)
- industrial production/humidity processes (e.g. drying)
All models fulfil high demands made on humidity measurement accuracy and long-term stability, some models even the very highest. The following table helps you to assign the hygrotest models to the applications: Comment: Adapt the models and order options chosen to the process requirements yourself, the following table provides only general information. Testo Sales is happy to help you with your selection. | Application | Recommended | Alternative |

Applications in air conditioning systemsIn air conditioning systems there are three potential measurement points for the hygrotest outside the air conditioned rooms. First the condition of the outside air A is determined, after filtration, cooling/heating and if necessary humidification/dehumidification the condition of the input air B is recorded. The third measurement point is in the convection air C. The data from A and B assist in the control of the input air conditioning, the data from A and C, on the other hand decide the position of the flaps in the mixing chamber (outside air and convection air mixture). (see illustration below).
