Vaisala has launched its DMP1 dew point and temperature probe to monitor environmental conditions in critical manufacturing rooms and spaces. With dew point measurement capability down to -70°C and rapid response capabilities that the company says is hundreds of times faster than competing measurement technologies, the new compact DMP1 is highly suited to dry rooms. 

The new Vaisala DMP1 probe provides precise measurements in demanding dry processing applications that include lithium-ion battery production, where humidity control is critical to manufactured battery performance. Employing advanced measurement technology, the DMP1 ensures dew point conditions stay as specified in all areas of a manufacturing dry room, helping to maintain both product quality and manufacturing safety. The DMP1 offers easy integration into centralised production, safety and quality monitoring systems.  

“The fast response of the new probe means that customers’ control systems are able to respond quickly, in a timely manner, ensuring the protection of product quality and safety,” says Juhani Lehto, product manager for precision instruments. “This means that customers can efficiently control any deviations in the dry room dew point. Quick reaction times translate into improved workplace safety in battery manufacturing, maintaining high product quality and avoiding waste in the production process.” 

The DMP1 is a part of the modular Vaisala Indigo measurement ecosystem, offering plug-and-play compatibility with connected smart devices. For example, it can be connected to an Indigo300 transmitter to display data locally and transmit measurement values to automation and control systems. The probe can also be connected to an Indigo80 handheld device for maintenance work, where interchangeable probes mean that downtime is minimised and service work is simplified.
