April 17, 2006—Proliphix, Inc. has released its newest Internet-enabled thermostat, model NT150, which features relative humidity sensing and control, says the company.
The NT150 also includes all of the standard features of Proliphix’s Professional Series thermostats.
According to Walter Dray, Proliphix’s President and CEO, “Humidity sensing and control have become increasingly important in residential and commercial buildings, especially in the southeastern United States, where damp conditions create a perfect environment for mold-growth. In drier climates the opposite is true — humidification is often necessary. Our NT150 can detect and provide control in either situation.”
The NT150 is also ideal for applications where humidity sensing is imperative, such as electronic equipment control rooms. In such environments, constant humidity levels are vital for optimum equipment performance.
NT150 users can control humidity by activating the HVAC cooling system when relative humidity (RH) rises above a pre-set threshold of 10 to 90 percent. The cooling cycle will continue until RH falls five percent below the pre-set level, or until a heat set point is met which will automatically trigger the system’s heat cycle. Once the heat requirement is satisfied, the system will wait five minutes before resuming the cooling cycle to satisfy pre-set humidity levels.
Information about the NT150 and all of Proliphix’s Internet-enabled thermostat products is available at the company’s Web site.
