Abstract

PURPOSE:To predict dew condensation by composing the sensor of a dew condensation detection part composed of comb-shaped opposite electrodes, and a cooling panel contacting the detection part, a heating panel, and a thermocouple. CONSTITUTION:The temperature of the sensor is lowered and raised by the cooling panel 3 and heating panel 4 above and below ambient temperature and when the temperature of the sensor falls under the influence of the cooling panel, dew condensation starts at a dewing point. The dew condensation is detected by deciding a point where a resistance value varies abruptly owing to the dew condensation on the comb-shaped electrodes as dew condensation. Consequently, the difference between the ambient temperature and dewing point is decided to predict the dew condensation.
