The thermal gas mass flowmeter uses the principle of thermal diffusion, and its working principle determines the change of the measured medium gas with the temperature and pressure, which affects the data change of the measured results.
The origin of the thermal gas mass flowmeter is from the hot wire anemometer. The temperature of the platinum heating wire has a proportional relationship with the change in the flow rate of the fluid: the faster the flow rate, the more heat is taken away.
Thermal gas mass flow meter is used to measure and control the gas mass flow meter, different from other gas flow meters, do not need to carry out pressure and temperature correction, directly measure the gas mass flow.
In order to solve the problem of leakage caused by poor measurement accuracy or inability to measure below the lower limit of the instrument, a new type of thermal gas mass flowmeter is developed based on the theory of forced convection heat transfer and the principle of hot wire anemometer. The sensitivity of the instrument is greatly improved and the dead zone of the instrument is reduced by using microfilament structure in the sensitive element and the velocity measuring heating element.
