Measurement Principle

Thermal mass flow sensors utilize heat transfer principles to determine the flow velocity of a fluid. As fluid passes across the sensor, heat is carried from the sensor to the medium. This relationship is dependent upon the flow rate. As flow increases, so does the amount of heat that is transferred. By knowing the temperature of the medium, the flow r... Read more...

Air flow meters in ventilators are used to control the airflow, which is an important factor. As an alternative, temperature sensors have been used in ventilators to perform a simple air flow measurement, but they have a relatively large thermal mass. An IST flow sensor enables the possibility to have a better and more accurate adjustment... Read more...
