  • Patent number: 10353114
    Abstract: A dual cap for protecting a humidity sensor of a radiosonde of an aerological observation system includes an outer cap and an inner cap. The dual cap surrounds the humidity sensor. The outer cap has an outer ventilation hole formed in its top, and an outer air circulation opening formed in its side periphery. The side periphery of the outer cap also has a first wall that acts as a barrier to air flow. The inner cap is affixed to and is disposed inside of the outer cap. A ceiling of the inner cap faces the outer ventilation hole so as to impose a barrier to air flow. The inner cap further has an inner ventilation hole in its top and an inner air circulation opening formed in its side periphery. The inner air circulation opening faces the first wall of the outer cap.

  • Patent number: 9846262
    Abstract: Disclosed therein are an inspection apparatus for a thermo-hygrometer based on phase change and methods for controlling and inspecting the same which can simultaneously inspect a thermometer and a hygrometer through a simple method using a phase change of reactants. The thermo-hygrometer based on phase change includes: reactants of at least two kinds; a plurality of cylinder type cells; a reactor body having a temperature sensor hole and a plurality of cell holes; a flow pipe in which a first gas circulates by a circulation pump; a relative humidity chamber which has a relative humidity sensor disposed therein; and a temperature control unit which is mounted below the reactor body, wherein when a phase change of a first reactant is induced, the relative humidity sensor is inspected based on the relative humidity of the first gas, and the temperature sensor is inspected based on the phase change temperature of the first reactant.

  • Publication number: 20170059745
    Abstract: A humidity sensor of a sensing unit in a radiosonde of an aerological observation system has a dual cap that surrounds the humidity sensor. The dual cap includes an outer cap having a first ventilation hole formed on top thereof, a first air circulation door formed on the side periphery thereof to pass air therethrough, and a first wall formed on the side periphery thereof to close the flow of air. An inner cap is located inside the outer cap in such a manner as to be fixed to the outer cap and has a second air circulation door formed on the side periphery thereof to pass air therethrough. The second air circulation door faces the first wall of the outer cap.
