Abstract

An enthalpy control circuit has a humidity responsive capacitive element in one leg of a bridge circuit and a temperature responsive resistance element in another leg. The circuit is powered by a pulsating DC voltage of 1 kilohertz frequency for providing DC output, from an integrator connected to the output of the bridge circuit, indicative of enthalpy. A feedback from an integrator output to the bridge circuit is provided by chopping the DC output into appropriate AC for rebalance. Another feedback circuit around an amplifier provides a reference point compensated for offset voltages brought about by conditions such as temperature affecting circuit components.
