Chilled mirror dew point meter is a precise technique for determining the water vapor content is gases by directly measuring dew point or frost temperatures. Using this technique a metal mirror is cooled until it reaches a temperature at which a thin layer of condensation begins to form on it. The dew layer is detected optically, and the mirror is held at that temperature. The mirror temperature, measures with a PRT, is an accurate indicator of dew or frost point.

What is the use of forced frost function?
Normally, the water vapor may be in the state of liquid or solid phase (dew or frost) if the temperature is below 0 ℃. The difference in the temperature at which the condensate layer stabilizes can be up to 3 ˚C, therefore the condensate phase must be known for correct calculation or validation of parameters such as relative humidity.
However, it is also possible that dew and frost can exist concurrently on the mirror; this results in a non-stable value somewhere between the dew and frost point.
Force frost function overcools the mirror to force the condensed layer to the solid phase. This eliminates the uncertainty of whether dew or frost point is measured.
After this function is enabled, the device will automatically trigger the forced frosting if the following conditions are met:
A. -35℃<DP<-3℃;
B. The sensor is in stable control state for 30 seconds;
C. Frost thickness is from 80% to 120%, and stable for 30 seconds.
How to caculate the relative humidity ?
**Appendix 1: Dew Point – Humidity Conversion**
This appendix provides the formula and results for converting between dew point of moisture in gas and µL/L (PPMv).
The conversion from dew point to µL/L (PPMv) is calculated using the following formula:
…………………………(1)
Where:
K——Moisture content by volume, µL/L or PPMv;
Ps——Saturated vapor pressure of ice at the outlet temperature, Pa.
The saturated vapor pressure at system pressure is calculated using the following formula:
………………………… (2)
Where:
Psvo——Saturated vapor pressure at system pressure, Pa;
Psva——Saturated vapor pressure at atmospheric pressure, Pa;
P0——System pressure, Pa;
Pa——Atmospheric pressure, Pa.
Derived from formulas (1) and (2), the conversion method for measuring moisture content under system pressure is:
………………… (3)
Where:
K0——Moisture content under system pressure, µL/L or PPMv;
Ka——Moisture content displayed by the instrument, µL/L or PPMv.
