Humidity Effects on Fluidic Temperature Devices

Humidity Effects on Fluidic Temperature Devices

A fluidic temperature device, designed by and obtained from The Harry Diamond Laboratories, was tested for stability when subjected to a variation of moisture content in an air stream. The device proved highly stable over a wide range of moisture contents. Slight variations in frequency were consist...
