Air flow meter for internal combustion engine

摘要

An air flow meter for an internal combustion engine comprises an intake air passage of an internal combustion engine, which is composed of a primary flow passage and an auxiliary flow passage having a specified length and a portion adapted to project within the primary flow passage and made substantially parallel to the direction of the air flow passing through the primary flow passage. A sensor for measurement of an intake air flowrate is disposed within the auxiliary flow passage. The primary flow passage is provided with a portion where the cross-sectional area of the primary flow passage is gradually reduced. In the vicinity of this cross-sectional area reducing portion, there is disposed an outlet of the auxiliary flow passage.
