A detecting element 1 of the thermal humidity sensor of the present invention has a diaphragm (a bridge structure) 2 formed on a planar substrate which is formed from a material with high thermal conductivity such as silicon or ceramic. Formed on the diaphragm 2 are temperature detecting resistors 4, 5, 6, and 7 and a heating resistor 3 arranged in a manner surrounding the temperature detecting resistors. Humidity is detected based on the outputs of the temperature detecting resistors 4, 5, 6, and 7. Accordingly, humidity measurement errors that can possibly occur due to the leakage of heat through the diaphragm 2 to the planar substrate can be reduced.

    摘要: A heating resistance flow rate measuring apparatus which can use a power source of an ECU in an automobile without requiring an expensive protective circuit and regulator. Heating of temperature detecting resistors themselves causes temperature changes on the windward and leeward sides, and these temperature changes depend on the amounts of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors. The amounts of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors depend on a voltage value of the ECU power source applied to the temperature detecting resistors, and an error is caused in a sensor output depending on a variation in the voltage of the ECU power source. Based on the finding that suppressing the amount of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors is effective in avoiding the sensor output error caused depending on a variation in the output voltage of the ECU power source, means for suppressing the amount of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors is disposed.
