A thermal mass flow controller for controlling flow rate of a fluid includes a conduit configured to receive the fluid, a pressure sensor that measures the pressure of the fluid as the fluid flows within the conduit, a temperature sensor that measures the ambient temperature of the fluid, and a thermal sensor that generates an output representative of the flow rate of the fluid. The thermal mass flow controller further includes a control system configured to monitor the output from the thermal sensor, the pressure measured by the pressure sensor, and the ambient temperature measured by the temperature sensor, to regulate flow of the fluid within the conduit so as to compensate for a shift in the thermal sensor output caused by thermal siphoning. |
