The Portable Moisture Measurement Solution
The MEECO WaterBoy 2 offers a cost effective
solution for reliable, portable moisture analysis.
Utilizing our time-proven electrolytic technology, it
features new micro-processor driven electronics.
The simplicity of the WaterBoy 2s three-button
interface makes changing display options effort-
less. Now, with the push of a button, you can
select from five different display options.
Its modular design and sturdy construction is
ideal for field conditions. The WaterBoy 2 is
equipped with an internal 24 Vdc lead acid
rechargeable battery, in addition to a 110 Vac
transformer. And, with the optional RS-232 port,
you can send data to a printer, a computer or
other control device.
Principle of Operation
Based on Faradays Law of Electrolysis, the
WaterBoy 2s sensor absorbs and electrolyzes
moisture to fractional parts-per-million (ppm).
How: One hundred percent of the sample
moisture is absorbed by a hygroscopic film that
covers two spiral wound electrodes embedded in
a hollow glass tube. When the sample gas enters
the cell at a known flow rate, the phosphorus
pentoxide (P
2
O
5
) film absorbs all the moisture
molecules present. By applying an electrical
potential (voltage) to the electrodes, each
absorbed water molecule is electrolyzed,
generating a finite current. This current is precise
and proportional to the amount of absorbed
water.
WaterBoy 2 Key Features Include:
Units of Measure: Micro-processor based elec-
tronics allow choice of display options including
ppmV, ppmW, lbs/mmscf, or °C and °F dewpoint.
