Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006074850A2] The invention relates to a method for regulating a thermal or calorimetric flowmeter (1) which determines and/or monitors the flow rate of a measured medium (3) flowing through a pipe (2) or measuring tube (2) in a process by means of two temperature sensors (11, 12). The actual temperature (T<SUB>i</SUB>) of the measured medium (3) at a certain point in time (t<SUB>i</SUB>) is determined via a first temperature sensor (12) while a defined heating power which is calculated in such a way that a given difference in temperature (T<SUB>target</SUB>) occurs between the two temperature sensors (11, 12) is fed to a second temperature sensor, and the heating power (Q<SUB>i+1</SUB>) fed to the heatable temperature sensor at a subsequent point in time (t<SUB>i+1</SUB>) is determined in case of a deviation (T<SUB>target</SUB> - T<SUB>i</SUB>) of the actual difference in temperature T<SUB>i</SUB> measured in the actual state from the difference in temperature (T<SUB>target</SUB>) given for the setpoint state, said heating power (Q<SUB>i+1</SUB>) being determined taking into account the physical conditions in the process, which are reflected in a time constant (t).
