Michell Instruments % RH sensors feature a
capacitive thin-film polymer sensor. These sensors provide a high accuracy,
excellent long-term stability and negligible hysterisis. They are insensitive
to contamination by particulate matter, are not permanently damaged by liquids, and are
resistant to most chemicals.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
A
capacitive humidity sensor works like a plate capacitor. The lower electrode is
deposited on a carrier substrate, often a ceramic material. A thin polymer
hygroscopic layer acts as the dielectric, and on top of this is the upper
plate, which acts as the second electrode but which also allows water vapour to
pass through it, into the polymer. The water vapour molecules enter or leave
the hygroscopic polymer until the water vapour content is in equilibrium with
the ambient air or gas. The dielectric strength of the polymer is proportional
to the water vapour content. In turn the dielectric strength affects the
capacitance, which is measured and processed to give a relative humidity
measurement. By also measuring temperature a dew point or absolute humidity
value can also be obtained. |
