Débitmètre à film chaud. Cette technologie, plus moderne, fonctionne sur un principe similaire à celui du fil chaud. Toutefois, elle utilise un film mince plutôt qu'un fil, offrant une mesure plus précise et moins susceptible aux perturbations causées par la saleté ou les particules présentes dans l'air. Le film est également chauffé à une température constante et tout changement de température dû au passage de l'air est utilisé pour déterminer le débit d'air. 4, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A8tre%20d%27air%20massique%20%C3%A0%20film%20chaud

Mass air flow (MAF) sensors are crucial for your vehicle's engine to perform well. They measure the air volume entering the engine, ensuring the air-fuel mixture is optimal for combustion. This balance is vital for efficient engine operation and power. MAF sensors are located between the air filter and the intake manifold. They help maintain the right air-fuel ratio in the engine's combustion chamber. 5, record 5, English, - mass%20air%20flow%20sensor

La qualité de l'air dans les villes fait maintenant partie des préoccupations principales du monde occidental. La circulation automobile intense, liée à des conditions météorologiques particulières (atmosphère stable, absence de vent, fort ensoleillement), est souvent la principale source de pollution atmosphérique, qui entraîne notamment des affections respiratoires chez l'homme. Des réseaux d'instruments de mesure de la qualité de l'air ont été établis dans les grandes villes. Ils sont généralement composés de quelques stations de mesure et sont surtout un moyen d'alerte.

Air data sensor. At the Hanover air show, Badin-Crouzet announced the production of a new pitot static sensor, known as the 50500. This takes the form of a mobile delta-shaped vane which combines the functions of a pitot tube, a static pressure port and an angle-of-attack sensor. Pressure ports on the vane provide Pitot and static pressures, both of which are automatically compensated for in angle of attack. Differential pressure ports permit correction of the residual alignment error of the vane. Pressure sensors associated with a microprocessor inside the probe itself are used to compute this error in order to obtain accurate angle-of-attack information, which is supplied in either digital or analog form. 3, record 16, English, - air%20data%20sensor
