Working principle and manufacturing process of thermal gas mass flow meter

Thermal mass flowmeters are known for their ability to provide accurate and reliable measurements of fluid flow rates, regardless of changes in pressure and temperature. This resilience to pressure and temperature variations is due to the operating principle of thermal mass flowmeters and their design features.

The thermal mass flowmeter sensor part is composed of two reference platinum resistance temperature sensors, using a bridge loop, one sensor measures the fluid temperature, and the other sensor is a heating element, maintaining a constant temperature difference higher than the fluid temperature, that is, when the gas flows through the heating element, the heat is taken away, and the heat is proportional to the flow rate of the gas and the density of the gas. To maintain a fixed temperature difference between the two temperature sensors requires the circuit to provide more power to the heating element, and the amount of output power in the circuit is related to the mass of the fluid, thus measuring the flow rate.

Verify that the power supply is operational, and check the connections between the flowmeter and the power source. If necessary, measure the voltage at the flowmeter terminals to confirm proper power supply.

The thermal mass flowmeter is an device for measuring gas flow by using the principle of thermal diffusion. The sensor consists of two reference thermal resistors (RTDS). One is the speed sensor RH, and the other is the temperature sensor RMG, which measures the temperature change of the gas. When the two RTDS are placed in the measured gas, one sensor RH is heated and the other sensor RMG is used to sense the measured gas temperature. As the gas flow rate increases, the airflow carries away more heat, and the temperature of the sensor RH drops.
