MEASURING DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE MASS OF A FLOWING MEDIUM

摘要

The invention relates to a measuring device (1) for measuring the mass of a medium, especially the induction air mass of an internal combustion engine, which flows along a main direction of flow (30) in a line (2). The measuring device (1) comprises a measuring element (21) around which flowing medium flows. The measuring element is arranged in a measuring channel (33) which is provided in the line (2). Said measuring channel extends in the axial direction thereof from an inlet opening (36) of the measuring channel (33) to a deviation channel (34). The deviation channel (34) leads to an outlet opening (46) which is located on an outer surface (45) of the measuring device (1) and which discharges into the line (2). At least one elevated section (50) is provided on the outer surface (45) of the measuring device (1), said outer surface comprising the outlet opening (46), in the proximity of the outlet opening (46).
