Temperature and humidity sensor

There are general sanitary and hygienic norms regulating the presence of cattle and small ruminants, poultry in large livestock complexes. These standards consider certain technological parameters to establish maximum permissible indicators: temperature, illumination level, relative humidity, airflow speed, and the presence of hazardous gasses in the air.

An unfavorable microclimate where animals and birds live can cause a decrease in milk yields by 10-20%, stunted growth by 15-30%, increased mortality in young animals by up to 40%, a 30-35% reduction in poultry egg productivity, higher disease rates, increased feed costs, and reduced lifespans of buildings and equipment. For the well-being of animals and birds, it is crucial to consistently control the temperature and humidity levels in the spaces they inhabit.

Modern methods for cultivating vegetables, seedlings, flowers, and crops necessitate the continuous management of specific greenhouse microclimates, including temperature, light intensity, and relative humidity. A robust microclimate control system is essential for this task, as it enables significant energy savings—up to 15-25% on heating—while enhancing crop yields, improving staff working conditions, and boosting overall production efficiency.

When carrying out work, controlling the microclimate is essential for the safety of raw materials and to ensure appropriate working conditions for employees. Non-compliance with regulations can result in significant financial penalties and other losses for companies.

Special requirements for temperature and humidity are mandatory in laboratories performing certification (attestation) of analytical equipment. Laboratories cannot be accredited unless their analytical instruments are certified. Furthermore, the testing methods enforce stringent controls over laboratory temperature and humidity levels. Specifically, for certain certification tests, such as those for spectrophotometers using liquid standards, the laboratory’s ambient temperature must be maintained at 20°C ± 1°C.

Perishable (refrigerated) cargo requires adherence to specific transportation conditions, including maintaining the necessary temperature and humidity, as well as meeting all relevant sanitary and hygienic standards.

The delivery of medications typically utilizes isothermal vans or refrigerated vehicles to ensure the maintenance of required temperature and humidity levels during transit. Failure to maintain these conditions may result in medication damage, such as pills absorbing moisture and losing their efficacy. Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors that allow drivers to continuously monitor and adjust the vehicle’s internal climate, safeguarding the medications.

In fish farming, water temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure are crucial factors that directly affect fish reproduction and fry mortality.
