down_step_01HumidiGEN® Laboratory RH Generator


The HumidiGEN® laboratory RH generator was developed to provide a powerful yet easy to operate instrument to provide very precise RH and temperature control in a carrier gas stream.

Theory of Operation:

The HumidiGEN® laboratory humidity generator creates a stream of gas with controlled humidity. Dry gas enters the system and the flow is split to two (2) gas mass flow controllers (MFCs). One controller is dedicated for a ‘Dry’ gas stream, the other for a ‘Wet’ gas stream. The ‘Wet’ gas stream is created by flowing the dry gas through a Nafion® tube in a water bath. Nafion® is highly permeable to water vapor and the gas flowing through the Nafion® becomes saturated with water vapor.

down_step_setup_01The ‘Wet’ and ‘Dry’ gas streams are mixed in proportions controlled by the upstream MFCs. The mixed gas is passed into the ‘Supply’ side humidity sensor chamber where %RH is measured. The humidified gas is then supplied to the end use point through a temperature controlled line to minimize temperature change and possible condensation.

A return line is available to bring exhaust gas back to the instrument to a separate ‘Return’ side humidity sensor before being exhausted out the side exhaust port.
