Single input, multiple output flow meter

摘要

A single input, multiple output flow meter includes an intake conduit adapted for receiving a fluid flow; a flow divider coupled to the intake conduit, with the flow divider dividing the fluid flow into at least a first flow and a second flow; a first flow sensor element coupled to the flow divider and including a first output conduit and configured to generate a first flow signal corresponding to the first flow; and at least a second flow sensor element coupled to the flow divider and including a second output conduit and configured to generate a second flow signal corresponding to the second flow. In use, the input flow is metered through the first output conduit by the first flow sensor element, is metered through the second output conduit by the second flow sensor element, or is simultaneously metered through both the first output conduit by the first flow sensor element and through the second output conduit by the second flow sensor element.
