The thermal mass flow meter is an instrument for measuring gas flow by using the principle of thermal diffusion. It measure gas mass directly and also it needn't temperature and pressure compensation.
The thermal mass flow meter sensor part is composed of two reference platinum resistance temperature sensors (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. The temperature difference between the two RTDS is linearly related to the flow rate, and then this relationship is converted into a linear output through micro-electronic control technology, thus to realise the measurement of gas flow.
