Additional Details:
The AWM2300V operates on the principle of convective heat transfer. A microbridge element is heated to a constant temperature, and the airflow passing over the sensor carries away heat. The amount of heat transferred is proportional to the mass airflow rate. The sensor is calibrated to provide a linear analog output that corresponds to the airflow. The integrated temperature compensation ensures accurate measurements even with varying ambient temperatures. Its robust design and calibration make it suitable for use in life-critical medical devices and other applications requiring precise and reliable airflow measurement. The low pressure drop minimizes its impact on the overall system performance. The sensor is designed to operate with a 10 VDC supply voltage.
