Description: A conventional temperature-based fan controller was modified so that it could be used to modulate fan speed on the basis of relative humidity. The thermistor in the original controller was replaced with a field effect transistor (FET) whose gate terminal was connected to an analog output port of a computer data acquisition and control board. The same board was used to acquire relative humidity signals from a thin-fllm-polymer humidity sensor. Software was written to control humidity in a poultry house at set points of approximately 30% RH and 60% RH. The system provided good control at both levels although, because of the air inlet and heating system, control was not as good at the higher level.
