Thermic Flow Sensor
Differential pressure sensor for gas and liquids.
Thermal flow sensors are perfectly suited for measuring low differential pressures because they have good zero point stability and their highest sensitivity is with a low flow velocity. In contrast, diaphragm pressure sensors work with a square characteristic curve which shows the least sensor sensitivity at low pressure of around zero. The 
use of a thermal flow sensor for measuring low differential pressures has the potential to reduce the costs to a tenth of what they would be with a pressure sensor system.
The MID Flow Sensor can be used as a differential pressure sensor in bypass as well as in direct operation. It offers a higher accuracy at a lower power consumption (< 10 mW). The Sensor can be used for gas as well as liquids. The maximum volumetric flow in direct operation is for example 20 ml/min for air. With the SMD/MID concept a highly integrated and extremely precise sensor can be realised for standard handling of electronic devices. At the same time the flexibility of usage is considerably higher. Initial uses of climate/air conditioning units have been successful. Possible applications, among others, are in medicine technology or in the automotive sector.
