Abstract
1515611 Measuring heat flow electrically ROSEMOUNT ENG CO Ltd 2 March 1977 [11 March 1976] 09792/76 Headings G1A and G1N Three similar temperature-sensitive resistors 1, 2, 3, Fig. 2, are incorporated in a D.C. bridge network whose unbalance voltage, amplified at 11, determines the bridge current required to balance the network by appropriate heating of resistors 1-3. The resistors 9, 10 which complete the bridge are such that the resistor 9 has a value slightly greater than twice that of resistor 10. The amplified unbalance current i flows substantially wholly through resistors 1-3, heating resistor 3 in proportion to i<SP>2</SP> and resistors 1, 2 in proportion to (i/2)<SP>2</SP>, and the value of the current i is automatically controlled to produce a balanced condition in the network. If the resistors 1-3 are subsequently subjected to a heat change, the current taken by the network, predominantly that taken by the bridge, is proportional to the parameter causing the heat change. For use as a flowmeter the resistors 1-3, formed as platinum films on an alumina substrate, are mounted on one face of a Venturi constriction 4, Fig. lb, in a duct 8 carrying a fluid. The current taken by the network, indicated on meter 21, is shown to be proportional the fluid flow-rate. In another embodiment the resistors 1-3 are suspended in a gas to measure its thermal conductivity. An additional resistor 22 is introduced into the bridge circuit and the resistance values selected as described to make the measured current independent of ambient temperature. The apparatus may be used as a vacuum gauge or to determine the concentration of a particular component in a gas mixture. The resistors 1-3 may be mounted on a steel probe 24, Fig. 3, for insertion in e.g. soil or food to monitor a characteristic of the tested material. For use as a radiation pyrometer, the radiant heat is shielded either from resistors 1, 2 or from 3 and the measured current is indicative of the temperature of the radiation source. The radiation may alternatively be an infrared beam, possibly passing through materials having different absorption characteristics.
