<\/span><\/div>Heated sensor cables have a hybrid construction of a glass fiber sensor combined with a copper or metallic wire heating element. Combined with an external heating source, the wires temporarily raise the cable temperature. Depending on the cross-section design, sensor cables can be optimized for a variety of humidity and flow applications over short of long distances.<\/p>\n
Humidity can be measured either in the warm-up or cool-down phases as more humid sections dissipate heat more quickly than dry sections, sensor cables will warm more slowly in these locations. In the case of cooling humid areas will cool more quickly.<\/p>\n
With optimization of the heated cable design over its length, sensing distances up to 2\u2019500m can be achieved.<\/p>\n
For the most demanding applications over extended distances a combination of electronic and optical switches can be utilized. These must be carefully designed for proper performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>
