Abstract
A measuring device for detecting the amount of moisture in and the temperature of a flowing medium is disclosed. Flow-directing elements which mix the flowing medium and direct it in a desired direction are arranged in the measuring device. The average temperature of the medium can thus be detected using a suitably arranged temperature sensor. In addition, the moisture sensor may be arranged in such a manner that a selective amount of moisture in the medium is detected.
Claims18
A measuring device comprising:
- a moisture sensor for detecting an amount of moisture in a flowing medium;
- a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of the flowing medium;
- and
- a carrier, the moisture sensor and the temperature sensor arranged on the carrier, the carrier having flow-directing elements.
