An Automatic Anemometer Based on the Technology of Double-Ring Thermoelectric Sensing Structure

Abstract:

The research presents a novel automatic anemometer based on the technology of automatic multi-dimensional thermoelectric sensor array. The multi-dimensional thermoelectric sensor array was designed to form a double-ring structure using commercial thermocouples to detect real-time airflow temperature distribution, velocity and direction. The sensing arrays and a controllable heater and a human-machine interface that is calibrated by a hot-wire anemometer. The anemometer has advantages of low cost, real-time detection with fast response. Related air flow information has measured accurately and repeatability.
