摘要 |
The disclosed flow monitoring apparatus has a flow-varied sensing capacitance and an inductor in a series-resonant circuit that modulates the frequency of an oscillator. In one apparatus, the sensing capacitance comprises a flow-activated vaned rotor whose blades sweep past a very small capacitive sensing electrode, for monitoring flow rates. In other apparatus a flow-activated blade is biased to remain opposite a very small capacitive sensing electrode, to provide on/off flow indication.
