Museums are places where important artefacts are kept and treasured, and temperature and humidity are among the most influential factors in the collection, which directly cause all physical, chemical and biological effects.
In general, the gradient of the air in a museum as a single factor does not have a significant impact on the material. However, due to the presence of both light and various gases in the environment, when the collection is affected by the combination of these factors, certain chemical reactions will occur, with temperature having a role in accelerating the subsequent chemical reactions.
In addition, changes in temperature that require the attention of staff can also cause changes in relative humidity, which in turn can have an impact on cultural objects, as humidity has a more pronounced effect on cultural objects than temperature. Changes in relative humidity can have varying levels of impact on the conservation of many objects in the collection. The museums need to use temperature recorders to measure and record the temperature and humidity of the collection at any time to avoid damage to important artefacts.
When the humidity in the air of the museum is high, it is easy to absorb moisture, triggering hydrolysis, weight gain, volume expansion and other phenomena, when the air humidity is low, cultural relics will release internal moisture and produce shrinkage, dry crack phenomenon.
Different cultural relics react differently to the relative humidity, animal and plant fibre materials such as silk, wool, cotton, linen, paper and bamboo and wooden ware are more sensitive to humidity, especially silk and book matters, so the paperless temperature recorder can play a role in recording and detecting the temperature and humidity of the cultural relics in the room at this time, and when the special situation is slightly displayed, the staff can make arrangements at the first time.
Although monitoring the temperature and humidity of the museum is a very difficult task, but as long as the size of the museum to determine how many points to pick multi-channel temperature data loggers placed in a reasonable location, temperature and humidity recorder according to the requirements set by the staff to record the temperature and humidity of the museum space, the staff can be based on the temperature data recorder every day with a U disk copy of the data to the computer analysis and printing archives.
The temperature and humidity data logger can also be used in conjunction with the museum's temperature and humidity control equipment to send out messages to the control equipment when the required conditions are not met, thus ensuring that the temperature and humidity range in the museum stays within a reasonable range.
