Description
図1に示すように本実施形態の流量センサの一種である質量流量センサ100は、ガス等の流体が流れる導管1の上流側と下流側に互いに独立した抵抗体2u、2dを設けておき、それらの抵抗体2u、2dに電圧を印加して一定温度に保つ前記抵抗体2u、2dを含む互いに独立した定温度制御回路3u、3dと、そのときの各抵抗体2u、2dに印加される電圧に基づいて各種演算を行う演算部4とを備え、前記演算部4は、少なくとも質量流量を算出する質量流量算出部41と、質量流量センサ100の周囲の温度を算出する温度算出部42と、を備えたものである。
前記実施形態では、各コイルに印加される電圧と質量流量Qとの間のグラフを外挿し、電圧がゼロになる点の質量流量QからXd及びXuを求めていたが別の方法を用いて算出してもよい。例えば、上流側コイルに印加される電圧Vu、下流側コイルに印加される電圧Vdの傾きau、adをそれぞれ求めておき、Xd=au、Xu=adとして用いても構わない。要するに前述した式(数6)を略みたすような値を用いればよい。また、このようにしてXu/Xdを定める場合には、質量流量Qについて全区間について式(数6)が成り立つ必要はなく、少なくとも使用したい区間において成り立っていればよい。

2u、2d・・・抵抗体(コイル)
3u、3d・・・定温度制御回路
