Fast Response for a Variety of
Measurements
When measuring humidity and temperature in a range of
different environments, it is essential that you have an
instrument that responds quickly to those changes. The
Psyclone thermo-hygrometer not only responds quickly, it
also measures a variety of parameters:
• Percent relative humidity (% RH)
• Temperature (°F or °C)
• Grains per pound (GPP)
• Gram/kilograms (g/kg)
• Dew point temperature (°F or °C)
• British thermal units/pound (BTU/lb)
• Wet bulb temperature (°F or °C)
• Parts per million by weight (ppmw)
• Kilocalorie/kilogram (Kcal/kg)
• Surface temperature (°F or °C)
• Surface proximity to dew point (°F or °C)
Flood Damage Restoration
Accurately measuring the atmospheric conditions during
building dry down is key to ensuring drying equipment is
used efficiently. Psyclone rapidly responds to changes in
humidity and temperature while calculating the specific
humidity readings to reduce errors and save time. During
hot air drying, Psyclone also calculates enthalpy to
maximize equipment performance.
Building Surveys
Psyclone is ideal for condensation risk assessment and
diagnosis applications. Using the optional surface
temperature sensor, the meter can display actual surface
temperature and dew point temperatures. This feature helps
determine whether a moist surface is due to condensation
or other sources. For example, negative temperature
differences confirm condensation, whereas positive
differences confirm condensation is not occurring
HVAC/R System Validation
Psyclone is specifically designed with time saving features
for the HVAC technician or building maintenance
professional concerned with HVAC performance validation.
Using the percent relative humidity (% RH) and temperature
measurements as inputs, Psyclone calculates the necessary
derived psychometric parameters, such as enthalpy, dew
point, and wet bulb temperatures needed to assess and
troubleshoot the performance and energy efficiency of any
HVAC system.
