Device for protecting temperature and pressure sensor from being corroded by fuel gas
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic gas meters, in particular to a device for protecting a temperature and pressure sensor from being corroded by gas.
Background
Temperature and pressure sensors are used in gas meter devices because the gas environment contains H 2 S and other corrosive gas components, and the temperature and pressure sensor can corrode the sensor after being exposed to the environment for a long time, so that the sensor data is distorted or even fails. Specifically, the temperature and pressure sensor is a packaged electronic component which can be pasted by SMT, and PCBA is produced in batches by using SMT technology. The device can collect the temperature value and the pressure value in the environment. If the PCBA after the patch is applied to an ultrasonic gas meter, when components of the PCBA are directly contacted with fuel gas, the components are corroded by corrosive gas in the fuel gas, so that the performance of the components is invalid.
At present, units using temperature and pressure sensors in the environment on the market cannot develop effective measures which can effectively work for a long time and can protect the temperature and pressure sensors from being corroded by fuel gas. The problem of corrosion leading to distortion and even failure of sensor data has plagued the use of temperature and pressure sensors in gas meters.
Therefore, how to provide a device for protecting a temperature and pressure sensor from being corroded by fuel gas is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
