PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the features and advantages of the Vaisala
DRYCAP® Dewpoint Transmitters DMT345 and DMT346.
Introduction to DMT345 and DMT346
The DMT345 and DMT346 transmitters incorporate the advanced
Vaisala DRYCAP® technology, which enables reliable and accurate
dewpoint measurement. Both transmitters also feature the AutoCal
function which provides excellent long term stability of the
measurement.
The DMT345 is designed for measurement of relative humidity in
temperatures up to 180 °C. The transmitter outputs dewpoint/frostpoint
(Td/f), mixing ratio (x), volume concentration (ppm), relative humidity
(RH), and temperature (T).
The DMT346 is a high-performance instrument for measurement of
dewpoint and mixing ratio in temperatures up to 350 °C.
DMT346 also outputs sensor saturation rate (SSR) and temperature
(T
S

Sensor
) of the cooled Vaisala DRYCAP® sensor. Because the
sensor is cooled, these values do not represent true process conditions,
hence they cannot be used for process control. Nevertheless, they provide
a valuable aid for calibration and for checking the cooling effect.
