Automatic Air Humidifier
The humidifier circuit is based on a special humidity sensor Type NH-3 from
Figaro. Depending on the sensor output, the circuit drives a ventilator that is
part of an air humidifying installation. The ventilator is switched on an off by
a triac. So as to keep the circuit as simple as possible, the supply voltage
and the test voltage are drawn directly from the mains supply. The 240 V
mains voltage is converted into an 8.9 V pulsating direct potential by
capacitor C1, resistor R1 and zener diode D1. The pulsating voltage is used
to drive the sensor.
