The DewTrace measures very low frost points using a primary method chilled mirror sensor. It has novel ice nucleation technology to reach low frost points in minutes, giving it superior performance over a wide dynamic range from ambient to trace moisture concentration levels.
The DewTrace is based on the proven Edgetech Instruments DewMaster platform configured with the X3 chilled mirror sensor. It is primarily designed to measure trace moisture in gas streams to –85°C frost point or lower, but can be configured to measure ambient levels of moisture to 95% RH. Combining the X3 stainless steel sensor with an ice nucleation feature makes the DewTrace extremely fast to reach and stabilize at very low frost points.
The DewTrace has a built-in heater that dries the sensor for fast dew point dry-down. It also allows high temperature dew point measurement by elevating the sensor temperature.
The Edgetech Instruments chilled mirror sensor is not compromised by exposure to high levels of moisture. No isolation or other precautions are required for the DewTrace to operate over its entire range
