I want to make air flow sensor

sbrn
sbrn over 4 years ago

Hello I want to make a sensor system to monitor wind speed in natural windows.

I want to make a sensor to save costs.

 

Do you have any suggestions for a measurement method for the sensor?

 

So far there are two possible methods, namely by plate orifice and ultrasonic. I want a sensor that can tell the wind speed and its direction (in / out) so that it is inclined to the orifice plate which takes advantage of the pressure difference. However, I still have trouble choosing the appropriate sensor because I estimate that the pressure difference is relatively small.

 

Can you guys suggest sensor options for me?

 

Thank you

    Sorry Imam, I don't understand what you mean by " in natural windows ". I think we may have lost something in transaltion here. Could you add a sketch to show us what you need to do. Thanks. MK

    Welcome sbrn . From your profile I see you are new to the community, so again welcome.

     

    I have no doubt someone in our community will have a solution to your problem. I appreciate the language barrier might create some issues. The community members are diverse. My experience is that language hasn't stopped anyone so far from getting their answers.

     

    Can you share some details about your background. Education, experience and/or knowledge level. This sites contains a wide variety of experience. Software, hardware, mechanical, electrical... You name it and there is  someone who can speak to it.

     

    Your challenge is to provide a question with the right bait to attract their attention to get your answer. Be careful, if you are trying to get the community to do the work for a school project, someone will twig to it and stop the conversation. Starting with a user profile helps some people offer advice. If you have no microcontroller knowledge then someone giving you a PLC solution might prove difficult.

     

    Help us, help you.
