  • Publication number: 20230012816
    Abstract: A relative-pressure sensor determines the pressure of a medium in relation to an atmospheric pressure. The sensor includes a housing having a measuring element located in the housing, wherein the pressure to be measured acts upon an outer surface of the measuring element. The surface is in contact with the medium. The sensor also includes a reference-pressure supply, which supplies an inner surface of the measuring element with atmospheric pressure in the form of ambient air, and an evaluation unit, which determines the pressure of the medium from a variable determined using the measuring element. A drying chamber takes-up atmospheric humidity from the ambient air that is supplied via the reference-pressure supply. The drying chamber has a drying module comprising a container and a humidity-adsorbing material that is completely surrounded by the container.

  • Publication number: 20220412830
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a relative-pressure sensor for determining a pressure of a medium in relation to an atmospheric pressure, the sensor comprising a housing; a measuring element arranged in the housing, wherein the pressure to be measured acts upon an outer surface of the measuring element, said surface being in contact with the medium; a reference-pressure supply, which supplies an inner surface of the measuring element with atmospheric pressure in the form of ambient air; an evaluation unit, which determines the pressure of the medium from a variable determined using the measuring element; and at least one drying chamber arranged in the housing for taking up atmospheric humidity from the ambient air supplied through the reference-pressure supply. Here, a bushing is provided, which can be pressed into the housing and has a capillary-type groove, which is helical at least in sections and runs around the bushing.
