AMETEK Introduces First Digital Humidity Sensor for Aircraft Environmental Control Systems
WILMINGTON, MA-- AMETEK Sensors & Fluid Management Systems (SFMS) has developed the smartest and most accurate humidity sensor available for aircraft environmental control systems (ECS). Qualification for transport jet application is complete. The advanced humidity sensor (8TJ315AAA1) contains a sensing element and electronics that convert the water concentration in the air to a standard CAN Bus output. The humidity sensor uses a capacitance technique with specialized signal processing to measure the water content. The humidity sensor has passed tests in accordance with DO-160,
