Abstract
A relative humidity measuring instrument includes two spaced electrodes on an insulating substrate which is mounted on a Peltier-effect thermoelectric module. When the substrate is cooled by the thermoelectric module, a comparator connected to the electrodes on the substrate detects a decrease in resistance between said electrodes due to condensation of moisture therebetween. Then a microcomputer receptive to temperature signals from a thermometer on the substrate and an ambient thermometer computes the relative humidity.
