High Precision Chilled Mirror Hygrometry Chilled mirror hygrometry, a process used to measure the dew or frost point of a gas, works in the following manner. Light shines onto a polished mirror surface, the temperature of which is controlled by a thermoelectric Peltier element. A light-sensitive receiver measures the intensity of the direct reflection. When the mirror is clean and dry, the intensity of the reflected light is at its maximum. Conversely, a cooled mirror with water vapor condensed on its surface scatters the light, resulting in less light directly reflected and in reduced...

Optimum Response Injection System – ORIS Measurements that once took several hours or more, are now performed in a matter of minutes. ORIS allows faster measurements at mirror temperatures below -60°C. At these low frost point conditions, a chilled mirror hygrometer must cool the mirror to a value well below the actual frost point temperature to start the condensation process on the mirror. Due to the low water vapor content of the gas, building even a thin layer of frost on the mirror often requires several hours; the lower the frost point of the gas, the longer it takes. ORIS reduces...

High Dew Point Measurement In general, making measurements of high dew point temperatures, i.e. those above room temperature, can pose difficulties due to possible condensation within the sampling tubes. Preventing such condensation often requires the use of external heaters and controllers to maintain the temperature of all tubing above the dew point temperature of the gas. The Model 373 offers a simpler solution. In addition to automatic control of the internal tubing and measurement head temperatures, it controls externally connected heated hose. Simply connect the hose and plug into the...

Convenient Calibration Check Users can easily check the Model 373 system’s stability at any time using the built-in Ice-Test function. This automated test procedure allows the user to confirm that ice on the mirror melts at 0 °C to verify the accuracy and stability of the mirror temperature measurement system. Easy To Use and Minimal Maintenance The 373 does not require either calibration adjustment or sensor replacement. Maintenance is limited to periodic mirror cleaning. The mirror check feature can be user programmed to regularly check for surface contaminants. Easy Mirror Cleaning...
