Thermal Energy Flow Meter Market

Thermal Energy Flow Meter Market: Introduction

A thermal energy flow meter uses the thermal properties of a fluid to measure the movement of the fluid in a duct or pipe. In a thermal energy flow meter, a measured volume of heat is applied to the heater of the sensor. A certain amount of this energy is lost during the flow process and as the flow rises, more energy is lost. The quantity of energy lost from the sensor is dependent on the thermal properties of the fluid and sensor design.

The thermal pressure properties of a fluid can differ with temperature and pressure, although these variations are typically insignificant in most of the applications. Thermal energy flow meters can be used to estimate the mass flow of the fluid on account of the fact that thermal flow measurement is not dependent on the temperature or pressure of the fluid.

However, in most applications, the properties of a fluid can be dependent on its composition. For these applications, the different composition of a fluid during real operation may disturb the thermal flow dimension. Consequently, it is significant for a thermal energy flow meter provider to know the composition of the fluid so that the suitable standardization factor can be handled to decide the flow rate precisely. Attributing to this limitation, thermal energy flow meters are commonly applied to measure the flow of unadulterated gases.

Manufacturers can provide appropriate standardization information for other gas combinations, but the precision of a thermal energy flow meter is dependent on the real gas mixture being identical as the gas mixture used for standardization purposes. In another sense, the precision of a thermal energy flow meter standardized for a provided gas combination will deteriorate if the actual flowing gas has a different composition.
