The Edgetech Instruments, Inc. DPS Series
consists of heated, primary method, chilled
mirror hygrometer systems that continuously
measure the dew point of high dew/frost point
gases from high temperature environments.
When the dew/frost point temperature of a sampled gas is
equal to or higher than the temperature of the sensing
system, saturation occurs in the sensing system causing
liquid water to condense in the apparatus. Under these
conditions, reliable dew/frost point measurement us not
possible.
The DPS Series heated hygrometers solve this problem by
heating all the components of the sensing system to a
temperature above the dew/frost point temperature of the
sampled gas, preventing condensation in the measurement
system. The entire sampling system within the DPS,
including the chilled mirror sensor, is heated. The heated
sensor and system allow reliable, accurate measurement of
high dew/frost point temperatures that are above the
ambient temperature.
The DPS heated chilled mirror hygrometer extracts a gas
sample from a high temperature, high dew point process,
transports it through a heated hose and measures its dew/
frost point over the range of -35°C (-31°F) to as high as
+95°C (203°F) dew/frost point temperature. The three
models are the DPS3 standard unit, the DPS4 featuring the
ability to measure and automatically compensate for
pressure and the DPS5 deluxe unit that offers an advanced
display, operational software and interface options. For
details see the DPS Series application note on the
Edgetech Instruments website.
All Edgetech Instruments hygrometers are manufactured,
calibrated and supported in the USA in a modern,
ISO 9001:2008 registered facility containing Edgetech
Instruments’ ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited calibration
laboratory. All certifications and calibrations are traceable
to NIST.
