A Double Feedback Gas Flow Sensor

Abstract

The invention discloses a double-feedback gas flow sensor which comprises a gas flow probe, a differential amplification circuit, a conditioning circuit, a compensation circuit, a controller and a power amplification circuit. The controller is used for outputting two paths of PWM waves to the power amplification circuit, then the magnitude of feedback currents are adjusted and controlled, the differential amplification circuit is not directly used for current feedback, a corresponding control algorithm is set in the controller to output proper feedback quantity, the shortcomings that analog circuit feedback quantity is too large or too small, multi-time feedback is caused, and response speed is slow are overcome, quick balance of bridge can be well achieved, and the dynamic property of the sensor is greatly improved. Meanwhile, volume flow rate is corrected in real time according to gas pressure in a pipeline, accordingly, an accurate gas volume flow value under an actual working condition is obtained, measuring errors caused by air pressure changing are removed, and the accuracy requirement on a volume flow rate meter of industrial production measuring is met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas flow sensing, and in particular relates to a double-feedback gas flow sensor. Background technique [0002] At present, gas flow measurement methods can be divided into four categories according to the measurement principle, namely differential pressure flowmeter, velocity flowmeter, volumetric flowmeter and mass flowmeter. According to the output type of gas flow, it can be simply divided into gas volume flowmeter and gas mass flowmeter. Because the volume of gas is a function of temperature and pressure, and is affected by the temperature and pressure of the medium, the measurement accuracy of gas volume flow is often not high; and the quality of gas does not change with time, temperature, and pressure, so the gas mass flow rate The measurement results are more accurate. However, in some practical applications, high-precision gas volume flow is often required. [0003] The thermal gas mass flow m...
