    If there is no flow, the heat spreads symmetrically in directions T1 and T2. The temperature difference T1-T2 is therefore zero. Flow rates > 0 create a temperature difference. The sensor T1 at the inlet is cooled by the gas flowing past it, and the temperature of the second sensor T2 rises due to the heat drawn from the heating system.

    The response time is time required to display 98% of its final value after a sudden change in flow. This response time for the compact 2 is around 300 ms but is dependent on your filter settings. On battery operation you might experience a slower response time than on external power.
