Thermoanemometer
Thermoanemometer FV A605-TA
For measuring the air velocity the ALMEMO
®
range of sensors includes rotat-
ing vanes, Pitot tubes and laser-calibrated thermoanemometers with unidirec-
tional or omnidirectional measuring sensitivity. By storing the sensor data in the
ALMEMO
®
connector, the measured values are indicated in m/s and with the
correct scaling. It is also possible to measure the volume flow by entering a
factor or the cross sectional area.
Measuring Principle:
The sensor contains a NTC resistance, which, with respect to the ambient tem-
perature, is heated up to a constant overtemperature. The flow rate is determ-
ined by measuring the required heating power. As this measurement strongly
depends on the ambient temperature a further precision NTC resistance is
used to measure and automatically compensate the ambient temperature.
Thermoanemometers are particularly suitable for low air velocities, e.g. draught
measurements.
Types:
The thermoanemometer consists of a sensor tube that contains the NTC tem-
perature sensor, the heated miniature thermistor, and the sensor converter
module including the detector electronics for the transducer. The thermoanem-
ometer has been adjusted together with the sensor to be used with it. The con-
verter module and the sensor can, therefore, not be interchanged! The module
is marked with the same fabrication number as its sensor (see type plate).
