Abstract
A system for determining the flow rate and temperature of air moving through a duct including a sampling or sensing head for sampling the air moving through the duct, a flow rate sensor connected to the sensing head for providing an output signal relating to the flow rate of air moving through the duct based upon the sampling of that air, and a temperature sensor connected to the sensing head for determining the temperature of the air moving through the duct based upon the sampling of the air moving through the duct.
Claims19
A system for sensing the flow rate and temperature of air moving through a duct comprising:
- pitot tube sensing means comprised of at least one tube located to sense air moving through a duct;
- flow rate signal means connected to said at least one tube of said pitot tube sensing means for providing an output signal relating to the flow rate of air moving through said duct;
- and,
- temperature sensing means in selective fluid communication with said at least one tube of said pitot tube sensing means for providing an output signal relating to the temperature of air moving through said duct, said temperature sensing means including a valve for selectively permitting the flow of air through said temperature sensing means.
