Abstract
There is disclosed a flow sensor arrangement, comprising a main channel (1) for conveying a fluid, a bypass (2) connected to the main channel (1) for conveying a portion of the fluid supplied in the main channel (1), and a flow sensor (6) for measuring a flow of the fluid portion in the bypass (2). The bypass (2) branches off from the main channel (1) at an angle (α) of less than 90 degrees between an inlet section (21) of the bypass (2) and a supply section (11) of the main channel (1). By such design means, particles can be prevented from entering the bypass (2) by this adversely affecting the measurements.
