• Professionals charged with monitoring and maintaining the environment of facilities such as office buildings, greenhouses, food and equipment storage facilities, wineries, freezers, shipping containers, computer rooms, labs, libraries, museums and saunas. The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in a volume of air at a given constant barometric pressure will condense into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates.
The most common application for the EP8711P's enthalpy-calculating algorithm is measuring the enthalpy of vaporization of air in an HVAC/R system duct. The EP8711P is powered by (3) “AAA” batteries (included). KEY FEATURES • Integral 6 in. long sensor-tipped probe for measuring conditions inside ductwork.
