Description

The AFM3020 mass flow sensor utilizes Aosong’s advanced thermal sensing technology, combining a MEMS thermal sensor chip with a high-performance integrated 24-bit ADC and CMOS microprocessor. This design enables precise measurement of gas mass flow by detecting the heat transfer caused by the moving fluid, resulting in fast signal processing and superior accuracy compared to conventional methods.

Operating from a 4.75V to 5.25V DC supply, the sensor outputs fully calibrated and temperature-compensated digital data via I2C, eliminating the need for external signal conditioning. Its specialized flow channel geometry ensures minimal pressure loss, making it extremely suitable for sensitive applications such as medical ventilators, respiratory equipment, and industrial gas mixing systems where system integrity is critical.

Key Features

  • Digital thermal mass flow sensing with integrated 24-bit ADC for high-precision measurement.
  • I2C digital interface simplifies wiring and microcontroller integration (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32).
  • Internal calibration and temperature compensation ensure stable, accurate readings across operating conditions.
  • Optimized flow body design for very low pressure drop, preserving system performance.
  • Constructed for high shock and vibration resistance, suitable for mobile or industrial environments.
  • Supports calibration for multiple non-aggressive gases (air, O2, N2) for application flexibility.
  • Non-invasive measurement technique prevents contamination and maintains gas purity.
  • High-value build offering medical-grade performance in a compact, easy-to-integrate package.

Applications

  • Medical ventilator and respiratory therapy equipment for patient airflow monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the AFM3020 sensor?

The AFM3020 requires a regulated 5V DC power supply, with an acceptable input range of 4.75V to 5.25V. Operating outside this range may affect measurement accuracy and could potentially damage the sensor. Always use a stable, low-noise power source for optimal performance.

How do I communicate with the AFM3020 sensor?

The sensor communicates via a standard I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) digital interface. You will need to connect the SDA (data) and SCL (clock) lines to your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi) along with power and ground. The sensor outputs fully calibrated and temperature-compensated flow data, eliminating the need for complex analog signal processing.

What gases can the AFM3020 measure?

The AFM3020 is calibrated for air and oxygen and is suitable for measuring non-aggressive, non-corrosive gases. Its thermal measurement principle means it measures mass flow, which can be calibrated for different specific gases. It is not designed for aggressive, combustible, or highly humid gases without proper validation and potential re-calibration.

What is the response time and sampling rate of this flow sensor?

The sensor has a fast sampling time of 10 milliseconds, providing a high data update rate suitable for dynamic flow monitoring. The integrated 24-bit ADC and processor ensure the output is stable and ready for immediate use by your host system without additional filtering delays.

Is this sensor suitable for medical ventilator applications?

Yes, the AFM3020 is specifically engineered for ventilator and respiratory applications. Its key features include a very low-pressure drop design to not impede patient breathing, high accuracy (±2.5%), and robust construction for reliability in critical medical environments. Always verify it meets all regulatory requirements for your specific medical device application.
