    Main Methods:

    • A system was engineered to generate rapid step changes in temperature and water vapor concentration within a controlled, steady gas flow.
    • The setup utilizes two reservoirs and a slide valve to switch a test section, where the instrument under calibration is placed.
    • Minimal alteration in flow rate during transitions ensures reliable calibration.

    Main Results:

    • The developed system successfully produced step changes in gas temperature and water vapor content.
    • The response of a thermistor and a respiratory mass spectrometer to these dynamic changes was analyzed.
    • The calibration method proved effective for evaluating instrument performance in simulated respiratory conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The new dynamic calibration system provides a reliable method for assessing instruments used in pulmonary function testing.
    • This technique is essential for ensuring the accuracy of temperature and water vapor measurements in respiratory gas analysis.
    • The study highlights the importance of dynamic calibration for objective evaluation of thermal and humidification processes in the pulmonary system.
