Electromechanical Hygrostat

A hygrostat functions by monitoring the humidity levels within the enclosure and activating or deactivating a fan or heater to maintain optimal conditions. Typically, it includes a humidity-sensitive element that reacts to changes in moisture content. Hygrostats respond to humidity range and not temperature.

Typically, hygrostats are used to prevent moisture-related issues that could damage sensitive electronic components.

Corrosion Prevention: Hygrostats help control humidity, reducing the risk of corrosion on metal components within electrical cabinets.

Condensation Control: They mitigate the formation of condensation, which can lead to short circuits and malfunctions in electronic equipment.

Preservation of Equipment: Maintaining proper humidity levels ensures the longevity and reliability of electrical equipment, extending its operational life.

Prevention of Malfunctions: Electronics are susceptible to malfunctions in high humidity conditions; hygrostats help prevent these issues by regulating moisture levels.

Environmental Monitoring: In sensitive applications like server rooms, hygrostats help create a stable environment, preventing fluctuations that could impact the performance and lifespan of electronic devices.
