A psychrometer in which the ventilation required for rapid evaporation from the wick, and concomitant cooling of the wet bulb, is provided by the natural convective motions of the air surrounding the bulb. 4, record 1, English, - non%2Dventilated%20psychrometer

Psychrometer: An instrument designed for determining the relative humidity. ... A non-ventilated psychrometer relies on the natural movement of air for ventilation, whereas a ventilated psychrometer relies on artificially circulated air (eg sling psychrometer). 5, record 1, English, - non%2Dventilated%20psychrometer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The dry and wet bulb temperatures are measured using psychrometers. Most common are those using two mercury thermometers, one of them having the bulb covered with a wick saturated with distilled water, and which measures a temperature lowered due to the evaporative cooling. When they are naturally ventilated inside a shelter, problems can arise if air flow is not sufficient to maintain an appropriate evaporation rate and associated cooling. The Assmann psychrometer has a forced ventilation of the wet bulb and dry bulb thermometers. 6, record 1, English, - non%2Dventilated%20psychrometer
