ABSTRACT:
A unit and system for sensing fluid velocity which is particularly well suited for use in the control system of an HVAC unit. A salient feature of the system is the combination of heat generating structure, a plurality of thermally conductive elements, and thermal insulation between the heat generating structure and a fluid flow path. Each of the conductive elements is in thermal communication with the heat generating structure at one end and the fluid flow path at a second end. As a result, heat transfer to the fluid is channelled through the conductive elements. This achieves a distributed heat flow path which results in an efficient and accurate heat flow measurement.
