December 17, 2007 — TTI Inc. has announced the availability of Omron’s new MEMS-based air flow sensor, D6F-P, suitable for flow rate monitoring and dumper control in HVAC/VAV (variable air volume) applications.

The D6F-P delivers uni- or bi-directional sensing with amplified output in a highly compact package. A key feature is its integrated, patent-pending dust-segregation system, which separates up to 99.5 percent (simulation test result) of dry airborne particulates from contaminated air helping to maintain performance characteristics of the sensor over its lifetime, the company said. Because it is bi-directional, the unit can protect against particulates whatever the direction of flow.

The flow sensor measures 7mm x 35mm x 17.2mm (L x W x H). It comes with lead terminals for PCB mounting or with a connector option enabling increased system design flexibility. In a bypass configuration, the D6F-P can measure flow higher than its own capability and maintain differential pressure sensing with high sensitivity and repeatability even in very low flow conditions.
