HEAT-SENSITIVE FLOW SENSOR

摘要

In a heat-sensitive flow sensor including a bridge circuit composed of a heat-sensitive resistor formed on a substrate provided within a fluid flow passage and a plurality of resistors and a control circuit for controlling current supplied to the heat-sensitive resistor to maintain the bridge circuit in a thermally balanced condition, a flow rate being detected from the thermal balance condition of the bridge circuit, current supply leads and a base portion of the substrate are buried in a heat insulating support member supported by a base. Preferably, lead terminals of the heat-sensitive resistor formed on the base portion are also buried in the heat insulating support member.
