Thermal Flowmeters use a constant temperature differential (ΔT) technology to measure mass flow rate of air and gases. The thermal mass flow sensor consists of two Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s).

PRINCIPLE
*Reference RTD measures temperature of the gas
*Power to the heated element is regulated by the electronics
*A constant ΔT is maintained
*As mass flow increases, the gas molecules remove heat from the heated element
*Sensing the ∆T reduction, the electronics adds power to maintain a constant ∆T.
*The amount of power applied to the heated element is proportional to the mass flow rate
*The microprocessor linearizes these signals
APPLICATION
*Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP)
*Aeration Air
*Bio Gas
*HVAC/Building Automation
*Natural Gas and Air Applications
*Boiler, Furnace, Oven manufactures etc.
