Apparatus for adjusting and maintaining the humidity of gas at a constant value within a closed system
A device is described for maintaining and controlling the humidity of a gas within a sealed environment. The device comprises container means having a partition for separating the interior of the container means into upper and lower chambers. The lower chamber contains an aqueous saturated salt solution containing crystals of the salt. The device also comprises a tube extending through the partition plate to provide communication between the upper and lower chambers and to enable gas humidified by the salt solution within the lower chamber to pass into the upper chamber. The device further includes means for preventing salt from the salt solution from migrating to the upper chamber from the lower chamber, the salt migration preventing means being located within the tube.
