    摘要: The present invention provides a highly-sensitive thermal-type flow-rate sensor with enhanced reliability. Provided is a thermal-type flow-rate sensor including: a passage into which a measurement-target fluid is introduced; and a sensor element which is provided in the passage and which measures the flow rate of the measurement-target fluid. The sensor element 1 includes: a semiconductor substrate; a hollow portion formed in the semiconductor substrate; and a heating resistor formed on an electric insulating film above the hollow portion. The sensor element measures the flow rate of the measurement-target fluid by radiating heat from the heating resistor to the measurement-target fluid. When Lh is the length of the heating resistor in a direction perpendicular to a flowing direction of the measurement-target fluid and Wd is the shortest distance to an upstream-side edge of the heating resistor from an edge of the hollow portion (an outer peripheral edge of a diaphragm) in the flowing direction of the measurement-target fluid, Wd≧0.4×Lh is satisfied in a relation between Lh and Wd.

    摘要: In a thermal-type airflow meter that measures an intake airflow rate in an internal combustion engine of an automobile or the like, there has been a problem that pulsation errors caused by external fluctuations under the environment including a large pulsation and reverse flow in the intake valve are difficult to be reduced. In order to solve this problem, the invention provides a flowmeter comprising a detection element that outputs a non-linear signal corresponding to a flow rate, and a regulation means that regulates an output signal of the detection element for controlling. With this construction, the regulation means executes output regulation processing that regulates irregularities of the detection element in the output signal, and inequality linearization processing that regulates an average value of the output signal after the output regulation processing by means of regulating parameters.
