Air Flow Measurements for Medical Applications
Air Flow Sensors
AdVanced Sensors has designed these Mass Air Flow Sensors from the ground up, incorporating the latest MEMS and microelectronics innovations. The sensor die uses a pair of thermopiles to detect changes in temperature gradient caused by mass flow, delivering ultra-low noise to signal, and unsurpassed repeatability. The “solid state” thermal isolation on the sensor die eliminates the need for a surface cavity or a fragile membrane, making the sensor resistant to clogging (from water vapor or dust particles) and pressure shock. The sensor’s signal conditioning circuitry leverages an off-the-shelf microcontroller, providing proven reliability and low cost.
