Device for determining a flow rate of a fluid flow

Abstract

A device for determining a flow rate of a fluid flow, includes a fluid chamber configured to receive a portion of a fluid from the fluid flow, through an inlet fluid port. Further, the device includes a membrane configured to deform in response to the receipt of the portion of the fluid into the fluid chamber. The device further includes a sensor provided in a second chamber provided adjacent to the membrane on a side opposite to a side of the fluid chamber. The sensor is configured to detect deformation of the membrane and generate an input signal associated with the detected deformation of the membrane. Also, the device includes an electronic circuit board operatively coupled to the sensor. The electronic circuit board is configured to receive the input signal from the sensor and provide an output signal in correlation with the flow rate of the fluid flow.
