Emerson has launched its new AVENTICS DS1 dew point sensor to the Australian market.
The sensor is the only industrial sensor to monitor dew point, temperature, humidity levels and quality of compressed air and other non-corrosive gases in real time from one device.
The DS1 can help operators detect and mitigate excess moisture in its early stages and prevent moisture-related equipment damage.
By optimising air quality in this way, operators can better control processes, extend pneumatic component life, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce maintenance and unplanned downtime.
Pneumatic systems power manufacturing processes across the plant floor in most industries, from pharmaceuticals and food and beverage to semiconductor and automotive.
While most industrial sensors only monitor humidity, the DS1 provides precise dew point monitoring that makes it possible for manufacturers to continuously track critical values, address excess moisture and prevent its negative effects.
Condensate in compressed air can cause discoloration, texture inconsistency and bacterial growth.
The DS1 provides essential data that facilities need to maintain a stable dew point and protect product quality. And if there are regulations around air quality, the DS1 can help companies meet requirements and maintain compliance.
