Product catalog summary
Overview: The HGC product series consists of humidity generators and controllers designed for various laboratory applications. These devices are crucial for controlling humidity in material analysis systems and can function as stand-alone units or OEM products.
Applications: The HGC series is applicable in fields such as atomic force microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, isothermal microcalorimetry, near-infrared spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, rheology, thermogravimetric analysis, thermomechanical analysis, and X-ray diffraction.
Humidity as an Interfacial Parameter: The HGC series can simulate conditions from tropical rainforest humidity to desert aridity, useful for studying surface properties and drying processes.
Bioinspired Actuators: The document discusses research on dual-responsive bilayer actuators that react to humidity and temperature changes, using a combination of polyamide 6 and liquid crystal network layers. These actuators demonstrate different bending behaviors under varying humidity and temperature conditions.
HGC Models:
  • HGC 20: The base model with an integrated pump and desiccant reservoir, capable of generating dry airflow and measuring humidity directly at the target location.
  • HGC 30: An advanced model with an inlet for external gas supply, allowing for higher throughput and use with clean, oil-free gases.
Software: The SCH 20 software for Windows assists in controlling the HGC devices, allowing users to define, execute, save, and load humidity profiles, and export data.
Technical Data:
  • Relative Humidity Control Range: 5% to 90% at 25°C; 10% to 85% at 85°C.
  • Accuracy: ±1.8% for HGC 20, ±1.0% for HGC 30.
  • Temperature Range: 5°C to 85°C.
  • Dew Point Range: -15°C to 85°C.
  • Flow Rate: 600 ml/min for HGC 20; 70 to 3500 ml/min for HGC 30 with external gas.

Humidity generator // HGC product series-3

HGC models The HGC models The humidity generators and controllers of the HGC series allow for a reliable control of the relative humidity, in the range of 5% to 90%, inside small environmental measuring chambers from DataPhysics Instruments. The humidity generators and controllers of the HGC series work as stand-alone devices and are also combinable with various laboratory devices and chambers of other manufacturers. In addition, the HGC series is available as an OEM product. HGC 20 The HGC 20 is the base system of the HGC series. With its integrated pump and desiccant reservoir it can independently...
