The Model 3920 Low Humidity Generation System is a self-contained system capable of producing atmospheres of known humidity using the fundamental “two-pressure” principle. This system is capable of continuously supplying frost point, dew point, parts per million, relative humidity and other calculated values for instrument calibration and evaluation as well as for precision environmental testing. This system will automatically generate manually entered humidity as well as user created multipoint profiles. Visual indications of system status are displayed in real time on the computer monitor.

The “two-pressure” humidity generation process involves saturating nitrogen with water vapor at a known temperature and pressure. The saturated high-pressure gas is then reduced to test pressure and warmed to test temperature. The indication of saturation temperature, saturation pressure, test temperature, and test pressure is used in the determination of all hygrometric parameters. Humidity generation by this system does not depend upon measuring the amount of water vapor, but it is dependent on the measurements of temperature and pressure alone. The precision of the system is determined by the accuracy of the temperature and pressure measurements and on the constancy of them throughout.
