Description
Block Measurement Selector (MA) allows you to access measurements of pressure, temperature, humidity, and the amount of impurity gases inside a unit with a finite volume of humid air. There is no mass or energy flow through the sensor.
Blocks with a finite volume of humid air, that is Constant Volume Chamber (MA), Pipe (MA), Rotational Mechanical Converter (MA) and Translational Mechanical Converter (MA), contain an internal node that represents the volume of moist air inside the component. Conventional sensors cannot connect to this internal node. Therefore, each of the units with a finite volume of moist air has an output signal port F, which outputs a vector signal containing measurement data of pressure (in Pa), temperature (in K), humidity level, mass ratio of water droplets and the amount of impurity gases inside the component.
Block Measurement Selector (MA) It is used to separate the vector signal and convert units of measurement (for pressure and temperature). To access the measurement results, connect the input port F of the unit Measurement Selector (MA) to the output port of the F signal of the unit with a finite internal volume of humid air.
