General Eastern Chilled Mirror Hygrometers

Optica - Chilled Mirror Hygrometer

The Optica Hygrometer offers precision dew point measurement. Precisely controlled by GE's chilled mirror sensing technology - providing NIST traceable humidity,temperature and pressure measurement anywhere via the worldwide intranet.

The Optica Hygrometer measures dew point temperature by regulating the temperature of a polished metal mirror by the use of optical feedback such that a constant mass of dew or frost is maintained. The temperature of the mirror is measured with a precise PRTD and is by definition equal to the dew or frost point.

OptiSonde - Chilled Mirror Hygrometer

The OptiSonde Hygrometer offers precision humidity and temperature measurement. GE's proven chilled mirror sensing technology provides data which is traceable to global metrology and standards laboratories.

The OptiSonde chilled mirror hygrometer is a humidity transfer standard available in benchtop or wall mounted configurations. These compact rugged analyzers are connected to either a single or two-stage chilled mirror sensor and PRTD. Chilled mirrors are the humidity sensors of choice when laboratory and process measurements require high precision without long-term drift.

Dew-10 Chilled Mirror Dew Point Transmitter

The Dew-10 Series is a family of low cost, high performance chilled mirror dew point transmitters comprising pipe, duct, and wall mount models. All models provide accurate and reliable dew point measurements over a wide range for energy management and process applications.

Accuracy for the series is +/- 0.5ºC (+/- 1ºF). Dew point may be measured over a range of -40º to +58ºC (-40º to +136ºF). The wall mount version is also available with an optional air temperature measurement capability over the same range.

In the Dew-10 sensor, a miniature heat pump cools a metallic mirror. When the mirror temperature reaches the dew point of the surrounding air, a thin dew layer condenses on the mirror surface. This condensation is optically detected. A feedback loop keeps the mirror at the exact dew point by continuously controlling the mirror temperature. A precision RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is imbedded just beneath the surface of the mirror, allowing the dew point temperature to be accurately measured.

Maintenance is easy. Ambient temperature effects, hysteresis, and calibration drift with age are virtually non-existent. Filter replacement and cleaning the mirror with a cotton swab restores the transmitter to its original condition.
