What is a Thermal Mass Flow Meter?

hotMass flowmeteris an accurate, easy-to-install low pressure dropFlowmeter. It is suitable for flow measurement and control of dry gas applications. The application can also use heat via the gas type reference linkMass flowmeter. When the air flow changes,Mass flowmeterThe cooling effect on the heated sensor will be observed. The result is high accuracy and low cost compared to other gas flow measurement devices.

Thermal Mass Flow Meter Principle

hotMass flowmeterUse the thermal properties of the fluid to measure the movement of the fluid in the pipe. in heatMass flowmeter, the measured heat is applied to the heater of the sensor. A certain amount of energy is lost during the flow, and as the flow increases, more energy is lost. The energy lost by the sensor depends on the thermal properties of the fluid and the sensor design. The thermocompressive properties of fluids can vary with temperature and pressure, although these changes are usually insignificant in most applications. Since heat flow measurement does not depend on the temperature or pressure of the fluid, it is possible to use heatMass flowmeterto estimate the mass flow of the fluid.

In other words, in most applications, the properties of a fluid may depend on its composition. For these applications, different compositions of the fluid may interfere with the magnitude of the heat flow during actual operation. Therefore, for heatMass flowmeterIt is important for the provider to understand the composition of the fluid so that the appropriate normalization factors can be processed to accurately determine the flow rate. Due to this limitation, heatMass flowmeterTypically used to measure the flow of pure gases. Manufacturers can provide appropriate normalization information for other gas combinations, but the accuracy of thermal mass flow meters depends on whether the actual gas mixture is the same as the gas mixture used for normalization purposes.
