  • Patent number: 6941807
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device with an air inlet manifold (1) and an air mass sensor arrangement (2) inserted radially therein, the insertion opening (3) of which is arranged perpendicular to the airflow direction (6) in the manifold (1). A wing-shaped shielding body (7) is arranged before the insertion opening (3) such as to cover the insertion opening (3) and guarantee a streamline airflow to the insertion opening (3) and the essentially straight surface thereof, transverse to the flow direction of the air flowing over said surface, is oriented perpendicular to the insertion direction of the air mass sensor arrangement (2).
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050087012
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mass tube (1) for an air measuring sensor (3) comprising a metal grid (4) acting as a flow rectifier arranged perpendicular to the air flow (2). At least two fixing elements (5) are arranged on the measuring tube (1), said elements extending inwards in a radial manner, whereon the metal grid (4) is fixed by pre-tensioning.

  • Patent number: 6865938
    Abstract: An air mass sensor has a three-part configuration formed of an insertion element, a measuring channel element and a housing element for accommodating an evaluation device. In order to be able to provide flexible insertion elements for a device having a short overall height, the measuring channel element and the housing element are joined to one another along a side of the measuring channel element that is perpendicular to the main direction.

  • Patent number: 6557409
    Abstract: A mass flowmeter includes a flow straightener or rectifier having a honeycomb member. The honeycomb member has at least one honeycomb, which is aligned with a sensor element in a flow direction. Two walls of that honeycomb enclose an angle. The sensor element is positioned with reference to a bisector axis of the angle enclosed by the two honeycomb walls in such a way that a mass flow thereto corresponds approximately to a mean value of a wave-shaped air flow in direction of the bisector axis when the flow is about to change over from laminar to turbulent flow.

  • Publication number: 20010052262
    Abstract: A mass flowmeter includes a sensor element and a shielding body upstream of the sensor element. The shielding body is constructed and disposed with respect to the sensor element in such a way that liquid or solid particles contained in the mass flow are deflected by the shielding body into a flight path outside an area in which the sensor element is disposed. A guide body is constructed and disposed with respect to the sensor element and the shielding body in such a way that the sensor element is located outside a wind shadow of the shielding body with respect to a gaseous component of the mass flow.
