ABSTRACT:
A liquid flow controller for metering a flow of liquid has an inlet to receive the liquid. The inlet feeds the liquid to a high resistance liquid flow path across which a pressure drop arises. A pressure sensor measures the liquid flow induced pressure drop and generates pressure drop signal which is fed to an electronic circuit. A temperature sensor is connected to the high resistance liquid flow path and generates a temperature signal which is also fed to the electronic circuit. The circuit energizes a viscosity-normalized liquid flow signal, which is compared to a set point signal to generate an error signal. A valve connected downstream of the high resistance liquid flow path to control the flow of liquid is driven by the error signal and thereby controls the flow of liquid.
