    摘要: A method for determining mass flow according to the differential pressure method on an internal combustion engine, includes calculating a mass flow signal by using sensors of a mass flow meter to measure a differential pressure, an absolute pressure and a temperature of the mass flow. The mass flow signal is filtered by an evaluation unit of the mass flow meter and the filtered mass flow signal is sent to an engine control. The filter parameters are matched to a measurement situation by the evaluation unit. In a first measurement situation, the filter parameters are set on the basis of an analysis of pulsations of the current measured values and in a second measurement situation, the filter parameters are set on the basis of status data of the internal combustion engine transmitted by the engine control unit. A mass flow meter and a probe are also provided.

    摘要: The method comprises producing a measurement signal (s1) having a signal parameter, followed with a temporal change (Δx1/Δt; Δx1′/Δt) of a primary measured variable (x1) and a temporal change (Δy1/Δt) of a disturbing variable (Δ1), and producing a measurement signal (s2) having a signal parameter, followed by a temporal change (Δx2/Δt; Δx2′/Δt) of a primary measured variable (x2). The method comprises ascertaining measured values (XI) of first type representing the primary measured variable (x1) or a secondary measured variable (f(x1) Δx1′) of measured values (XII) of second type representing the primary measured variable (x2) or a secondary measured variable (f(x2) Δx2′). The method comprises using measured values (XI) of first type and measured values (XII) of second type for ascertaining an error characterizing number (Err) representing a velocity error (ΔXI/ΔXII) caused by a change of the disturbing variable (y1).

    摘要: Microwave measuring arrangement for determining loading two-phase flow with gaseous carrier medium in tube of channel system (1) with small solid and/or liquid particles. Microwaves with frequencies between 0.95 and 1.05 times the frequency of waveguide fundamental wave, are coupled into an electrically conductive section of the tube/channel system (1), section being delimited by filed rods (4,4′) and acting as resonator, the shift in the resonant frequency of the resonator on account of loading of the medium with solid and/or liquid particles is determined. To suppress interference (reflected, diffracted and/or superimposed) in the tube/or channel system (1), two auxiliary field rods (6, 7 and 6′, 7′) assigned to each filed rod (4,4′) are provided, Auxiliary filed rods (6, 7 and 6′, 7) are arranged at an angle α with respect to the field rod (4, 4′) of α=+45°±10 and/or α=−45°±10° and/or α=+135°±10° and/or α=−135°±.

    摘要: A subsea flow meter assembly includes a pipe section extending in an axial direction and providing a flow path for a medium. At least four measuring ports are provided at different locations in the pipe section. A first assembly measures at least a differential pressure between a first and second ports and an absolute pressure at one of the ports. A second assembly measures a differential pressure between a third and a fourth ports, and an absolute pressure at one of the ports. A first measuring unit is used to take measurements of the differential pressure and the absolute pressure via the first sensor assembly. A second measuring unit is used to take measurements of the differential pressure and the absolute pressure via the second sensor assembly. An evaluation unit of each determines a flow rate of a flow of medium through the pipe section based on the measurements.

    摘要: A system, method and device for mass airflow sensor signal processing includes a microcontroller, a mass airflow sensor and an engine PCM. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts a first output signal from the mass airflow sensor to a first VDC value. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts a second VDC value to a second output signal associated with the mass airflow sensor. Transfer functions are obtained from a flow bench using the mass airflow sensor, performance air intake components, and stock air intake components. The microcontroller determines, from the first VDC value, a corresponding actual flow rate. From the actual flow rate, a corresponding stock VDC value is determined. The stock VDC value is then output to the DAC for conversion to the output second signal associated with the mass airflow sensor for communication to the engine PCM.
