Condensation control for refrigerators
By measuring the dew point, a heating coil can be controlled in an energy-optimized way to prevent condensation of moist air at the thermal bridges of refrigerator doors. This prevents puddling in humid environments.
Robust humidity sensors are central to controlling anti-condensation heating in refrigerators. Heating is controlled for energy efficiency and only turns on when ambient humidity approaches the dew point temperature.
Thanks to the energy savings provided by intelligent dew point control, the energy classification of cooling equipment can be optimized, depending on the interpretation of the IEC standard.
Millions of refrigerators are equipped with Sensirion's sensor solutions. In the meantime, four generations of humidity sensors exist, which have always convinced with improved specifications.
For many years, the refrigerator industry has relied on Sensirion's proven SHTxx humidity sensors.
