Monitoring temperature and humidity is essential at multiple stages of the operation of a constant temperature and humidity chamber (climate chamber) to ensure accurate simulation of environmental conditions and compliance with testing standards. The key processes that require real-time temperature and humidity monitoring include:
Purpose: To bring the chamber environment to the target temperature and humidity setpoint before introducing test samples.
Monitoring Role: Sensors verify that the chamber has reached the desired stable condition (e.g., 25°C ±0.2°C / 60%RH ±2%RH) before testing begins.
Purpose: To expose materials, products, or components to precise and stable environmental conditions over a defined duration.
Monitoring Role: Continuous feedback from temperature and humidity transmitters allows the control system to make fine adjustments. This ensures uniformity and prevents deviations that could invalidate test results.
Purpose: To record environmental data for quality assurance, regulatory compliance (e.g., FDA, ICH, ISO), and traceability.
Monitoring Role: Transmitters provide high-resolution, time-stamped data to the chamber’s data logger or external system to verify environmental conditions throughout the test duration.
Purpose: To automatically regulate heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification systems.
Monitoring Role: Real-time data from the sensors is used by the PID control algorithm to maintain tight environmental tolerances, responding to internal or external fluctuations.
Purpose: To detect deviations or failures (e.g., heater/humidifier malfunctions or door leaks).
Monitoring Role: The transmitter triggers alarms when temperature or humidity values fall outside of acceptable limits, helping prevent damage to test samples and ensuring system reliability.
Purpose: To maintain sensor performance over time and ensure test validity.
Monitoring Role: Monitoring trends in sensor drift or inconsistency helps schedule timely recalibration and reduce unplanned downtime.
Here are 5 factors you should consider when buy a humidity transmitter for your Climate Chambers:
Look for ±1.0%RH or better and ≤1%RH/year drift to ensure reliable test data.
Must operate long-term in 90–95%RH. Anti-condensation coating and corrosion-resistant housing are essential.
Response ≤10s helps maintain tight control via closed-loop feedback systems.
Supports 4–20mA, 0–10V, or RS485 Modbus to fit your control and monitoring systems.
Compact probes, replaceable elements, and field calibration save time and reduce downtime.
A temperature and humidity transmitter is a critical component in humidity test chambers, responsible for accurately monitoring and transmitting real-time environmental data. It helps maintain the desired climate conditions by feeding precise temperature and humidity readings to the chamber’s control system. This ensures consistency, repeatability, and compliance with testing standards, especially in industries like pharmaceuticals, electronics, and materials testing.
For high-reliability applications such as pharmaceutical stability testing or electronic component reliability, humidity transmitters should offer an accuracy of ±1.0%RH or better, with premium models achieving ±0.8%RH. Temperature accuracy should typically be within ±0.1°C to ±0.2°C. The sensor must also demonstrate low drift over time (≤1.0%RH/year) and fast response times (≤10 seconds) to meet strict control requirements.
Common failure risks include:
Condensation buildup on the sensor element, causing reading errors or corrosion.
Microbial growth due to prolonged exposure to high moisture.
Signal drift or loss of calibration over time.
Ingress of water vapor damaging internal electronics.
To mitigate these risks, industrial-grade transmitters are designed with anti-condensation coatings, sealed housings, sensor heaters, and corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., 316L stainless steel or PBT enclosures).
No, standard HVAC humidity transmitters are typically not suitable for the rigorous and high-humidity operating conditions of climate or test chambers. They often lack the necessary:
Measurement accuracy
Environmental sealing
Condensation protection
Long-term stability
Industrial or laboratory-grade transmitters are specifically designed to operate in 90–95%RH, with strong resistance to drift, corrosion, and electrical interference, making them essential for reliable test chamber operation.
The most commonly used output signals include:
Analog outputs: 4–20mA or 0–10V, suitable for direct connection with PLCs or analog controllers.
Digital outputs: RS485 with Modbus RTU protocol, allowing for long-distance, multi-point data collection and integration with modern data logging systems.
A dual-output model (e.g., analog + Modbus) is often preferred for flexible integration and redundancy.
Calibration frequency depends on the application, sensor stability, and regulatory requirements. In general:
High-precision applications (e.g., pharmaceutical stability chambers): calibrate every 6–12 months.
General industrial use: annual calibration may suffice if the sensor is stable.
Choose transmitters with low drift specifications, multi-point calibration support, and field calibration options to minimize downtime and ensure traceability.
