Abstract

A test bench has been developed allowing to simulate air flow in a 20 L cylindrical stainless-steel chamber under conditions of the stratosphere and the troposphere: pressure from about 500 to 30 hPa, air temperature from 293 to 223 K and air flow velocity of about 5 m/s. Humidity of the air flow is controlled in the range of frost temperature from 253 to 193 K with accuracy better than 0.3 K for a frost temperature of 198 K. Specifically designed to test a newly developed frost point hygrometer, this facility may as well be used for testing instruments with suitable dimensions especially those operating with sounding balloons.

对流层上层和平流层测量用轻型气球载水蒸汽传感器试验台

在平流层和对流层条件下，气压在500 ~ 30hpa之间，空气温度在293 ~ 223 K之间，空气流速在5m /s左右。气流湿度控制在霜温253 ~ 193 K范围内，霜温198 K时精度优于0.3 K。该设备专为测试新开发的霜点湿度计而设计，也可用于测试尺寸合适的仪器，特别是那些使用探空气球的仪器。
