Introducing the CGS-240 Humidity Generator: Precision, Innovation, and Ease of Use

When it comes to humidity generation, precision and reliability are key. That’s why RH Systems is thrilled to introduce the CGS-240 Humidity Generator. It’s a groundbreaking piece of equipment that we’re super proud of. It redefines what’s possible in humidity control. Designed with cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features, this generator is a game-changer for industries that demand accuracy and efficiency. Let’s dive into what makes the CGS-240 so special and why we’re so jazzed to provide it to our customers and partners.

 

The Science Behind the CGS-240

At the heart of the CGS-240 Humidity Generator is its reliance on the fundamental physics of temperature and pressure. Unlike traditional systems that depend on humidity sensors, the CGS-240 is calibrated solely based on precise measurements of temperature and pressure. This unique approach eliminates the need for humidity sensors altogether, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and reliability. We didn’t know if it could be done - but we did it!

 

Independent Control for Unmatched Flexibility

One of the standout features of the CGS-240 is its independent control system. Unlike most humidity generators on the market, the CGS-240 allows you to independently control the saturated air generator (where humidity is created) and the chamber temperature. This level of control is virtually unheard of in other systems and offers incredible flexibility for a wide range of applications.

Because of this independent control, the CGS-240 operates at significantly lower air pressure—just 40-50 PSI compared to the 175 PSI required by many competitors. This not only reduces energy consumption but also extends the lifespan of the system. At RH Systems, we strive for this kind of longevity.

 

 Advanced Chamber Design for Precision

The CGS-240’s chamber is a marvel of engineering. Yes, we’re patting ourselves on the back a bit. But we deserve it! It features a liquid jacket that controls the chamber’s temperature by regulating the temperature of the liquid within. Additionally, an air jacket and fan system circulate air between the liquid jacket and the chamber walls, ensuring even temperature distribution.

But what truly sets the CGS-240 apart is its full-access window. This isn’t just a window for observation—it’s a temperature-controlled fluid jacket. By flowing temperature-regulated fluid through the inner pane of the window, the CGS-240 achieves six-sided thermal regulation, resulting in exceptional temperature uniformity. With a stability of ±0.03°C, this system is perfect for applications requiring extreme precision, whether you’re working at 0°C or up to 85°C.

 

 User-Friendly Interface and Data Logging

The CGS-240 isn’t just powerful—it’s also incredibly easy to use. We want to save you time and effort - and that’s just what we’ve accomplished. The system features a full-color touchscreen interface that puts all controls at your fingertips. From setting temperature and pressure coefficients to calibrating the system, everything is intuitive and accessible.

Data logging is another standout feature. All data collected by the CGS-240 is stored in log files, which can be viewed in real-time or accessed later for analysis. The built-in graphing tools allow you to zoom in, zoom out, and manipulate data with ease, making it simple to track performance and troubleshoot if needed.

 

 Modular Design for Easy Maintenance

Our customers are superstars in their industries, so we understand that downtime can be costly, which is why the CGS-240 is designed with modularity in mind. If a component like the refrigeration system or saturator fails, replacing it is as simple as disconnecting a few quick-connect fittings and installing a new module. No specialized service technicians are required—most repairs can be handled in the field, saving you time and money.

 

 Efficient and Cost-Effective Operation

The CGS-240 is equipped with an onboard air compressor that’s both compact and cost-effective. Because the system operates at lower pressures, the compressor is smaller and less expensive than those used in traditional generators. If it ever needs replacement, it’s a quick and affordable fix.

Additionally, the CGS-240 includes an integrated air drying system. Even if you supply wet air, the system automatically dries it, ensuring consistent performance without the need for external drying equipment.

 

 Built to Last, Made in the USA

The CGS-240 Humidity Generator is more than just a piece of equipment—it’s a testament to precision engineering and durability. Made in the USA, right here in Arizona, this system is built to withstand the rigors of demanding environments while delivering consistent, reliable performance.
