Abstract

See full text

A velocity sensor enclosed within a venturi housing is disposed in a moving fluid stream. A self-heated, negative coefficient thermistor is supported in the interior of the housing to sense changes in velocity of the stream. A positive coefficient thermistor is supported on the exterior of the housing and compensated for fluctuations in the ambient air temperature. The negative coefficient thermistor is operated at a temperature substantially above ambient. An automatic starting circuit is provided for cold start-up and initially heats the negative coefficient thermistor to the elevated operating temperature.
