Abstract

An electrical measuring device for detecting a fluid-energy parameter has at least two temperature sensors for the determination of a forward flow temperature and a reverse flow temperature in addition to a flow meter. The flow meter is one of the at least two temperature sensors. Said has a pulsed electrical heating element (21, 22) and a sensor element (21) which can be brought into thermal contact with the sample fluid whose electrical resistance is temperature dependent. The sensor element (21) can be warmed up by the heating element (21, 22). Means are provided for the determination of the amount of fluid which flows through and which monitor heating and/or cooling process in the sensor element (21) over time.
