What is Temperature and humidity sensor?

Temperature and Humidity Sensor is a low cost sensitive electronic meter that detects, measures and reports humidity and air temperature. The ratio of perceived ambient moisture to the highest moisture at a given air temperature.

It is one of the most important devices used in a wide range of consumer, industrial, biomedical and environmental fields to measure and monitor temperature and humidity in a specific location, especially in a data center or server room.

In most industries, the measurement of temperature and humidity is important because it plays an important role in the safety of all critical equipment and may affect the entire operation.

How Does It Work?

Agreeing to some expert, Temperature and humidity sensor work by measuring the capacitance or resistance of air samples. Most of these sensors utilize capacitive measurement to determine the amount of dampness in the air. This sort of measurement relies on two electrical conductors with a non-conductive polymer film laying between them to form an electrical field between them.

Moisture from the air collects on the film and causes changes within the voltage levels between the two plates. This alter is then converted into a computerize measurement of the air’s relative humidity after taking the air temperature into account.
