Finnish measurement instruments supplier Vaisala has introduced its new DMP1 Dew Point and Temperature Probe to monitor environmental conditions in manufacturing rooms and spaces.
The DMP1 provides precise measurements in demanding dry processing conditions, such as those found in lithium-ion battery production, where humidity control is critical to the performance of manufactured batteries. The compact probe has dew point measurement capability down to -70° C and a faster response than other competing measurement technologies, making it well suited to dry rooms, according to the company.
The DMP1 can be easily integrated into centralized production, safety, and quality monitoring systems. The DMP1 has a low maintenance requirement and can withstand accidental humidity spikes caused by humans, machines or external air conditions.
The probe is part of the modular Vaisala Indigo measurement ecosystem, offering plug-and-play compatibility with connected smart devices. For example, it can be connected to an Indigo300 transmitter to display data locally and transmit measurement values to automation and control systems. The probe can also be connected to an Indigo80 handheld device for maintenance work. Interchangeable probes limit downtime.
“The fast response of the new probe means that customers’ control systems are able to respond quickly, in a timely manner, ensuring the protection of product quality and safety,” said Juhani Lehto, Product Manager for Precision Instruments, Vaisala. “Customers can control any deviations in the dry room dew point efficiently. Quick reaction times translate into improved workplace safety in battery manufacturing, maintaining high product quality as well as avoiding waste in the production process.”
