  • Publication number: 20110270541
    Abstract: Disclosed is an air flow rate sensor capable of sensing an air flow rate and respirator air flow rate. The air flow rate sensor includes a chamber having left and right portions having same internal diameters and a central portion having an internal diameter greater than the internal diameters of the left and right portions, first and second pressure taps provided at the left and right portions of the chamber, respectively, and a pressure sensor connected to the first and second pressure taps to measure a differential pressure between the left and right portions of the chamber. There are obstacles on the path of air flow, so that exact and uniform measurement characteristics are maintained. Since energy loss is measured by using vortex, the structure of the air flow rate sensor is simplified. The air flow rate sensor is used as a respirator air flow rate sensor.
