Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic measurement, in particular to a hot wire current limiting protection circuit of a hot wire anemometer. Background technique [0002] The hot wire anemometer is widely used in the measurement of fluid flow velocity. Its working principle is to place the hot wire in the fluid, heat the hot wire through the circuit current, and at the same time conduct heat exchange between the hot wire and the fluid. Through the balance between heating and heat dissipation, the flow velocity The signal is converted into an electrical signal to realize the measurement of the flow rate. Therefore, the hot wire is the key sensitive element of the hot wire anemometer measurement system. In order to improve the sensitivity of flow velocity measurement, the hot wire of the hot wire anemometer generally uses a thin-diameter tungsten wire with a relatively large resistance temperature coefficient. The heat capacity of th...

Therefore, the hot wire is the key sensitive element of the hot wire anemometer measurement system. In order to improve the sensitivity of flow velocity measurement, the hot wire of the hot wire anemometer generally uses a thin-diameter tungsten wire with a relatively large resistance temperature coefficient. The heat capacity of the thin tungsten wire is small. If the working current is not set properly or the wiring is improperly connected and other misoperations occur, the current flowing through the hot wire will often exceed the allowable value, resulting in the hot wire being blown.

At present, the protection of the hot wire of the hot wire anemometer is generally based on the user's operating experience, and there is a lack of current limiting protection measures.
