Velocity<br />

Measuring air velocity and air flow<br />
(Measured variable w = m/s)<br />
Velocity measurements based on effective differential pressure<br />
A fixed obstacle (orifice plate, flow nozzle etc.) placed in the air flow<br />
creates a pressure differential which varies according to flow velocity.<br />
The flow velocity can be determined by measuring this differential pressure<br />
and converting it appropriately.<br />
Special flow detectors are available for this purpose:<br />
Orifice plate Flow nozzle Flow cross Flow grid<br />
Hot-wire anemometer (thermoelectric)<br />
A heating element is heated to a given temperature.<br />
The heat output required to maintain this<br />
temperature varies according to the flow velocity.<br />
The required heat output is measured and<br />
converted into a flow velocity.<br />
Important: The hot-wire anemometer is only<br />
suitable for spot measurements.
