Air temperature and humidity sensor principle and application
Air temperature and humidity sensor is a device used to measure the temperature and relative humidity in the air. It is commonly used in meteorological observation, environmental monitoring, industrial control and other fields. This article will introduce the principle, classification, application and development of Air temperature and humidity sensor.
How Air temperature and humidity sensor works
Air temperature and humidity sensor is mainly based on the measurement principles of temperature and relative humidity. Among them, temperature measurement generally uses thermal elements such as thermistors and thermocouples, and the temperature value phase is obtained by measuring the change of resistance or electromotive force with temperature. Humidity measurement generally uses humidity sensitive components, such as lithium chloride, ceramics, etc., and the relative humidity value is obtained by measuring the change of resistance or capacitance with humidity.
Classification of Air temperature and humidity sensor
Air temperature and humidity sensors can be divided into two categories: contact type and non-contact type according to the measurement method. Contact sensors need to be in contact with the object being measured, and are generally composed of temperature measurement elements and humidity measurement elements; non-contact sensors do not need to be in contact with the object being measured, and usually use remote sensing technologies such as infrared microwaves to achieve measurement.
Application of Air temperature and humidity sensor
Air temperature and humidity sensors are widely used in meteorological observations and environmental monitoring industries in meteorological control and other observation fields. Temperature and humidity sensors can be used to measure temperature and relative humidity to provide data support for weather forecasts;
In environmental monitoring, temperature and humidity sensors can monitor air quality, indoor environment, etc., helping us understand indoor air conditions;
