ABSTRACT:
A thermal mass flow meter for measuring flow rate of a fluid includes a conduit that is configured to receive the fluid and that defines a primary flow path between an inlet and an outlet of the conduit. The conduit is bound at least in part by a sensor receiving surface. A thermal sensor tube has a thermal sensing portion that is mounted relative to the sensor receiving surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to both the primary flow path and the sensor receiving surface. When the thermal mass flow meter is mounted in a vertical direction so that fluid within the conduit flows in the vertical direction along the primary flow path, fluid within the sensor tube flows in a horizontal direction so as to substantially prevent thermal siphoning when the sensor tube is heated.
