What is the function of an air flow meter in a car?
1 Answers
The function of an automotive air flow meter: It monitors the amount of air intake in the engine and converts this information into an electrical signal sent to the electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU then determines the fuel injection quantity based on this signal. More information about the air flow meter is as follows: 1. The air flow meter is a device that converts the inhaled air flow into an electrical signal. Its advantages include minimal pressure loss and a wide measurable flow range. 2. The ratio of the maximum to minimum flow rate of an air flow meter is generally above 20:1, with a broad applicable industrial pipe diameter range, reaching up to 3m. The output signal is linear to the measured flow rate, offering high accuracy. It can measure the flow rate of conductive fluids such as acid, alkali, salt solutions, water, sewage, corrosive liquids, as well as slurry and ore slurry with a conductivity ≥1μs/cm. However, the air flow meter cannot measure the flow rate of gases, steam, or pure water.
