FLOW SENSOR WITH SELF HEATING SENSOR ELEMENTS

Traditional flow sensors include an upstream resistive sensor element, a downstream resistive sensor element and an intervening heater resistive element. To help reduce the size and/or cost of such flow sensor, it is contemplated that the heater resistor may be eliminated. When so provided, the spac...

Zusammenfassung:Traditional flow sensors include an upstream resistive sensor element, a downstream resistive sensor element and an intervening heater resistive element. To help reduce the size and/or cost of such flow sensor, it is contemplated that the heater resistor may be eliminated. When so provided, the space required for the heater resistive element, as well as the corresponding heater control circuit, may be eliminated. This can reduce the cost, size and complexity of the flow sensor.
