Abstract
An anemometer transducer wind set with no moving parts for determining both wind speed magnitude and wind direction components having an omnidirectional wind speed resultant thermal anemometer transducer and a directional orthogonal or right angle ducted thermal anemometer transducer. Omnidirecitonal single-ended element design configuration is disclosed that is used to control thermal anemometer resultant wind element spatial response to wind flow together with a wind set array configuration that combines the resultant wind measurement transducer with an orthogonal dual component ducted thermal anemometer wind direction sensing transducer.
Claims8
A directional orthogonal dual component ducted thermal anemometer transducer comprising:
- a cylindrical support body through which is radially passed an orthogonal pair of open cylindrical ducts;
- said ducts housing at their mid-point a transverse pair of thermal anemometer resistive sensing elements mounted side-by-side, wherein a plane defined by said sensing element axes is parallel to the longitudinal axis of said open duct;
- said longitudinal axes of said ducts being parallel to the plane of wind flow response and perpendicular to the axis of said cylindrical support body;
- said thermal anemometer sensing elements being provided with electrical connection means, whereby said anemometer sensing elements are self-heated by an electric current passes through said sensing elements, and
- mechanical structure supporting said sensing elements, all mounted within said ducts, each with respect to the other.
