In the last ten years our humidity and temperature sensors have become established as the standard in global markets due to their high level of integration (CMOSens® Technology) and very small size. All humidity sensors provide a fully calibrated digital output signal and feature high long-term stability, extremely high accuracy and very low power consumption. The SHT1x, SHT7x and SHT2x product lines give you a choice of various designs and specifications according to the intended application. Visit our Humidity product pages to learn about the various humidity and temperature sensor families and the performance features of individual sensors. The next innovation step is coming soon. Sensirion will present a new humidity sensor product in the fall.

Sensirion's differential pressure sensors ensure energy-efficient and sustainable building services. Demand-driven variable ventilation systems (VAV), burner control and heat recovery devices are decisive factors for today's integrated building control technology in both private households and industrial environments. Climate measurement and control systems, as well as factors such as differential pressure, temperature, humidity and air supply, play a major role here. Our SDP500 differential pressure sensors, described in the previous newsletter, are especially suitable for diverse applications in building technology due to their extremely high sensitivity and repeatability as well as their excellent value for money.

Sensirion is launching the SLI flow sensor family for high-precision process monitoring in applications with low dispensing volumes. The new sensors enable reliable, low-cost measurement of flow rates in the microliter and milliliter range and are available for aqueous liquids as well as oils, fuels and solvents. The small size and low weight of the devices make the sensors perfectly suited for use in process control systems and in applications in the pharmaceutical and medical industry. Visit our Liquid Flow product page to learn more about the SLI universal sensor.

The safety of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles is highly dependent on the robustness of the battery. The lithium ion batteries commonly used in such vehicles are a source of many potential hazards for the occupants and surrounding traffic. This makes sophisticated battery management systems essential in modern vehicles. In such systems, integrated sensors constantly monitor and measure important parameters such as humidity and temperature.

When these sensors detect that a monitored value is outside specified limits, the battery is immediately disconnected from the vehicle. The proper use of humidity sensors can therefore considerably increase the safety of vehicle batteries, reduce their energy consumption and increase their lifetime.
