Pressure-based fluid flow sensor

A volumetric fluid flow sensor includes a flow channel for flowing a fluid therein; and a diaphragm having an outer surface within the flow channel. The diaphragm includes at least one flow disrupting feature mechanically coupled to or emerging from the outer surface of the diaphragm. A sensing stru...

Zusammenfassung:A volumetric fluid flow sensor includes a flow channel for flowing a fluid therein; and a diaphragm having an outer surface within the flow channel. The diaphragm includes at least one flow disrupting feature mechanically coupled to or emerging from the outer surface of the diaphragm. A sensing structure is coupled to the diaphragm for generating a sensing signal responsive to a pressure signal on the diaphragm.
