<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact flow and liquid type detecting apparatus which simultaneously detects the quantity of flow of a fluid, and the liquid type and concentration of the fluid, and also accurately and speedily detects the quantity of flow, liquid type, and concentration of the fluid. <P>SOLUTION: The flow and liquid type detecting apparatus provided with: a main channel for circulating the fluid to be detected; a subchannel branched from the main channel; and a flow and liquid type detecting sensor device provided for the subchannel, is used for detecting the liquid type and/or concentration of the fluid. At this time, a subchannel opening and closing valve is closed to temporarily accumulate the fluid in the flow and liquid type detecting sensor device to detect its liquid type and/or concentration. At the detection of the quantity of flow of the fluid, the subchannel opening closing valve is opened to circulate the fluid through the flow and liquid type detecting sensor device to detect its quantity of flow. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
