The AVENTICS DS1 dew point sensor monitors dew point, temperature, humidity levels, and quality of compressed air and other non-corrosive gases in real time from one device. It helps operators detect and mitigate excess moisture in its early stages and prevent moisture-related equipment damage. By using it to optimize air quality, operators can better control processes, extend pneumatic component life, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce maintenance and unplanned downtime.
While most industrial sensors only monitor humidity, the DS1 provides dew point monitoring that makes it possible for manufacturers to continuously track critical values, address excess moisture, and prevent its negative effects.
The DS1 can be easily integrated into existing systems, including the AVENTICS Series AS3 and AVENTICS Series 652 air preparation units, and connects to networks via Modbus TCP (PoE). One key advantage is that the sensor can be placed close to the process rather than where the compressed air is generated.
The sensor element is condensation-resistant and provides long-term, drift-proof performance. With fast response time, its measurement values include pressure dewpoint, temperature, relative humidity, absolute humidity, moisture content, moisture content V/V, water vapor partial pressure, and atmospheric dew point. The DS1 is also suitable for other non-corrosive gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, argon, helium, and sulfur hexafluoride.
