摘要:
To determine air mass flows, especially for controlling internal combustion engines, a hot-film air-mass sensor is provided, which may be used especially for sensing air mass flows in the intake tract of an internal combustion engine. The hot-film air-mass sensor has a sensor chip having a sensor frame and a sensor diaphragm having at least one heating element and at least two temperature sensors. Furthermore, the hot-film air-mass sensor has a chip carrier for mounting the sensor chip, as well as at least one additional heating element. The sensor chip is able to be heated up using the at least one additional heating element, which is inserted into the chip carrier. Compared to the usual devices, the hot-film air-mass sensor has a lower susceptibility to contamination, especially by oil films.

A fluid sensor may be used for detecting fluid media, in particular hydrogen. The fluid sensor includes a sensor chip having a chip surface, which has a measuring surface and a body surface. Printed conductors of a central sensor circuit having at least one heating element and at least one temperature sensor are provided on the measuring surface. Furthermore, the fluid sensor has one additional fracture detection element and one fracture detection circuit situated on the sensor chip. The fracture detection circuit is designed for detecting fractures and/or cracks in and/or on the sensor chip, in particular in the area of a boundary between the measuring surface and body surface.
摘要:
An ultrasonic flow sensor for measuring the volumetric flow rate of a flowing medium through a flow channel having a transducer array which is situated within the flow cross section of the flow channel and which generates ultrasonic waves which propagate in the flow cross section of the flow channel transversally to a flow direction of the flowing medium, the ultrasonic transducer array having an interlaid arrangement of transducer elements which act alternately as transmitting and receiving antennas, so that all emitted individual sound waves interfere to form common wave fronts.

A flow sensor is described, in particular for analysis of gas flows, having a substrate and at least one sensor component which is sensitive to a flow of a medium, the sensor component being separated from the substrate in at least some areas by a region that is a poor heat conductor compared to the substrate. In addition, the region having poor heat conductivity is a porous silicon region or a porous silicon oxide region, or the region having poor heat conductivity is a recess in the surface of the substrate above which the sensor element (15) is situated on at least one web which bridges the recess and is at least mostly unsupported. The flow sensor described here is particularly suitable for angle-dependent detection of a gas flow.

摘要:
A device for determining at least one parameter of a medium flowing in a line, in particular the intake air mass of an internal combustion engine, has a part provided for introducing into the line, having at least one measuring channel for conducting at least one subflow of the medium flowing in the line, and having at least one measuring element situated in the measuring channel for determining the at least one parameter, in which the part may be introduced into the line with a predetermined orientation with respect to the medium flowing in the line in the main flow direction. A channel structure is formed in the part, the channel structure having an inlet area for the entry of a substream of the medium into the channel structure as well as at least one measuring channel branching off from the inlet channel, the measuring channel having an outlet opening that opens toward the outside of the part, the inlet area having a discharge zone that has a discharge orifice on a first lateral wall of the part, which opens toward the environment, and the discharge zone is closed on one second lateral wall diametrically opposite the first lateral wall.
摘要:
A device for determining a parameter of a medium flowing in a line, according to the related art, does not offer sufficient protection for a measuring element from liquid or solid particles which may dirty or damage the measuring element in an unwanted way. A device has an input region, whence, on the one hand, the flowing medium flows into the measuring channel, and on the other hand, through at least one separation opening, liquid and solid particles flow, and thus flow so as to bypass the measuring channel.
摘要:
A device for filtering a gas flowing through a line, particularly for filtering the air flow in an intake line of an internal combustion engine, including a filter element which is insertable in a line section and surrounds a longitudinally extending interior cavity in the manner of a cover. In order to equalize the flow of gas, a choke element is furnished with at least one breakthrough in the interior cavity and divides the inner cavity into two sub-sections that are connected to one another via the at least one breakthrough.
