Description
The HGT Series Humidity Gauge is a vital accessory for accurately monitoring the saturation level inside a D Series Compressed Air Dryer. This gauge helps you determine the optimum time for maintenance by providing a precise reading of moisture levels. While the HGT Series Humidity Gauge offers valuable insights, it is important to note that its reading accuracy can fluctuate based on environmental factors and seasonality, making it a useful tool but not a substitute for a dew point monitor.
- Purpose: Enables accurate monitoring of cartridge saturation in D Series Compressed Air Dryers, ensuring timely maintenance.
- Environmental Sensitivity: The HGT gauge readings may vary with temperature changes, making it essential to consider seasonal conditions when interpreting results.
- Relative Humidity Monitoring: Provides a relative humidity reading (R.H. range: 20-100%) to help maintain optimal dryer performance.
- Temperature Range: Designed to operate effectively within a temperature range of 10-160°F.
- Durability: Rugged construction makes it suitable for job sites, though temperature variations will impact R.H. readings.
- Optional Accessory: The HGT is an optional upgrade that replaces the top pressure gauge on the D Series air dryer.
Enhance the performance of your D Series Compressed Air Dryer with the HGT Series Humidity Gauge, a reliable tool for monitoring saturation levels and ensuring timely cartridge replacement.
FAQ
1. Do you recommend this product for outdoor applications?
The gauge is rugged enough for job sites. However, variations in temperatures will affect the %R.H. reading. In cold temperatures, the saturation percentage will increase.
2. What is relative humidity?
Warm air can possess more water vapor capacity than cold air, so with the same amount of absolute/specific humidity, air will have a HIGHER relative humidity if the air is cooler and a LOWER relative humidity if the air is warmer.
3. Will the HGT provide me with a dew point?
No, the HGT indicates only the relative humidity. Although more accurate than color-changing silica gel indicators, the HGT will not provide the accuracy of a dew point monitor.
4. Is the HGT essential to the performance of the dryer?
No, the D Series air dryer comes stock with pressure gauges. The HGT is an optional accessory that replaces the top pressure gauge. Its purpose is to indicate the optimal moment for cartridge replacement.
5. How to interpret the readings?
When you monitor the relative humidity, you should always record the temperature (e.g., 40% @ 80°F). When your air dryer is brand new, you can expect relative humidity of 35%. Over time it will increase, and when it exceeds 80%, it is time to replace the desiccant cartridge.
