US 2022/0034836 A1 · DEVICE FOR MEASURING WATER CONTENT

Abstract

Embodiments concern a high-precision, measurement device operative to measure the water content in media and/or water transport rate by media with high precision and with high dynamic range concerning the flow rate value. Based on a molecular transducer principle, captured water reacts with a reactant characterized by its ability to generate gas as a reaction product. By using an electro-chemical transducing element, an electric signal is generated in accordance with a stoichiometric volume of gas produced and water transferred, which is related to the flow rate of the circulating aqueous solution.

Dependent claims

A measuring device for measuring water content in a media, comprising:

a reactor comprising a reactant gas donor, wherein the reactor is configured to liberate a hydrogen stream having a stoichiometric equivalent to water in the media, the reactant gas donor having an ability to liberate hydrogen gas upon reaction with water;
and
a transducing element configured to transduce the hydrogen stream into an electrical signal,
wherein the reactor is configured such that the reactant gas donor (6) can be continuously subjected to flow of water-containing media.
