Operating principle
As in the past, hot-film anemometry
is the measuring principle used. The
difference now is that two separate
resistance-measuring bridges
are used to detect the forward and
backward flow. The sensor element
itself comprises of resistances in the
form of two half-bridge networks.
The hot-film sensors are located
near the front and rear edges of the
sensor element assembly. For forward flow the front sensor provides
a high signal and a correspondingly
low signal for backward flow. The
rear sensor works in the opposite
sense. By simply comparing
the signals, backward flow can be
accurately detected.
