Summary: | The hygroscopic and electrical resistance characteristics of lithium chloride are investigated. Then an evaluation is made of the lithium chloride characteristics that would be suitable in development of a dew point hygrometer with measurement accuracy of + 0. 3 c.
The development of a 12 volt battery-powered hygrometer is presented with circuit details and performance characteristics. Lithium chloride phase transition hygrometers tend to oscillate under certain conditions. A damping control is presented as part of the circuit details and recordings of the response characteristics and effectiveness of damping are presented showing effective control of the oscillations with a wide range of humidity transients. |
