Optional Outdoor Air Monitor; Thermal Dispersion Airflow Measurement Technology - Daikin Rebel DPS Series Installation And Maintenance Manual

Thermal Dispersion Airflow Measurement Technology

Thermal dispersion technology relates the velocity of the air
to the power and rise in temperature of a heated element in a
moving airstream. A precise bead-in glass thermistor probes
the airflow rate and air temperature. Multiple sensing points are
used to produce an average velocity for true volumetric airflow
(CFM/LPS). Each individual sensor node is calibrated to NIST
traceable airflow standards at 16 points, resulting in a accuracy
of 2% of the reading.
