Description

OMEGA™ FMA-7000E Mass Flow Controllers accurately measure gases on the basis of mass flow. The flow sensor produces an electrical output signal linear with the flowrate used for indicating, recording, and/or control purposes. It eliminates the need for continuous monitoring and readjustment of gas pressures to provide a stable gas flow. This is accomplished automatically by an electromagnetically actuated flowrate control valve.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE The operating principle of the controller is thermodynamic. A precision power supply directs heat to the midpoint of the sensor tube carrying the flow. On the same tube, equidistant upstream and downstream of the heat input, are resistance temperature measuring elements. With no flow, the heat reaching each temperature element is equal. With increasing flow, the flow stream carries heat away from the upstream element, and carries it towards the downstream element. An increasing temperature difference develops between the two elements and this difference is proportional to the mass flowrate of the gas. A bridge circuit interprets the temperature difference and an amplifier provides the output to the control circuitry as well as a 0-5 Vdc output signal.
