ABSTRACT:
A mass airflow meter for positioning within a duct wherein a fluid flows, particularly an air intake of an internal combustion engine, includes a symmetrical body having an axial passageway and a radial passageway. The radial passageway has a temperature dependent element positioned therein and extends from the axial passageway at an acute angle to the downstream flow of air. Accordingly, the radial passageway provides inertial separation of airborne particulate and also provides isolation from air flowing backwards through the air intake.
