In business, a humidity sensor is crucial in detecting fluctuations within the local environment. Three primary types of humidity sensors exist: Relative humidity (RH) sensors Absolute humidity (AH) sensors Thermal humidity sensors The significance of monitoring humidity levels is most…
In today’s energy landscape, biomass stands as a key player in renewable fuel generation. However, ensuring the quality of this valuable resource is paramount, with moisture content playing a crucial role in determining its calorific value, storage life, emissions, ash…
The UK Government, following the Paris Agreement, passed The Climate Change Act intending to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% of 1990 levels (net zero) by 2050. The hope is to limit global warming to +1.5 degrees. It’s…
So many popular products are made from wood, and the transformation involves a considerable number of processes. One particular element that is common in most wood manufacturing is drying. Drying wood in a wood dry kiln is a crucial stage…
Measuring the moisture in oil is essential to the smooth running of many processes. The presence of free moisture can cause corrosion, oxidation or acid formation, which may lead to particle contamination and reduced life of the equipment or compromised…
Paper manufacturing is a complex process requiring close attention to moisture control. Measuring and controlling moisture in paper production and the converting and printing process can significantly improve the quality of the finished product. This article examines how moisture affects…
When cultivating edible mushrooms, certain climatic conditions must be observed to ensure a maximum yield of the highest quality. From compost preparation through the growth phase to harvesting the mushrooms, it is important to ensure the optimum temperature, humidity and…
Meteorology Sensors and measuring instruments used in climate research and weather observation must meet particularly high requirements. Adverse environmental conditions, low temperatures, contamination, dew, and frost/ice are all influencing factors that climate sensors need to address and positively respond to…

Spring and late summer are the two seasons where humidity-related diseases peak in greenhouses. We’ll break down the reasons why: You see, the presence of a sunny day can boost the levels of evaporation from soil. Furthermore, it can also…
Being able to predict when crops will need watering could allow for reduced water consumption, leading in turn to reduced costs and a depleted environmental footprint. It also enables the growth of healthier, more productive crops and smaller failure rates…
