Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Nowadays, the temperature and humidity control of superheated steam have become important research area in food drier, pasteurization and food processing. The authors have studied on economic humidity sensor that it is available even at high temperature of more than 200 degrees. The humidity sensor works based on relationship between dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures. To measure accurate wet-bulb temperature, water retention control is necessary for keeping temperature near the thermocouple for wet-bulb uniform inside wet material. The sensor's structure should be also well-considered so as to be suitable for water supply functionality.
In this paper, porous ceramic is newly developed and used as wet material of the humidity sensor because of high durability against high temperature environment. For automatic water retention control, a prototype of the sensor has a water level sensor inside ceramic and a moisture sensor on the surface of the ceramic. The micro-controller operates a pinch valve to control the amount of water from a tank based on the sensor's outputs. We propose its control algorithm and confirm its validity by transfer function analysis. Moreover, the prototype of the sensor is implemented on the food processing machine and an experimental evaluation of the water retention control is made. We also confirm that the moisture sensor on the surface of the ceramic is effective for detecting reliability of the wet-bulb temperature measurements, by additional experiments.
