Abstract:
A device for determining at least one parameter of a medium flowing in a line, comprising:at least one measuring element around which the medium flows; a first bypass channel extending along a flow direction between an inlet opening connected to the line and at least one outlet opening leading into the line downstream from the inlet opening; a separating wall; at least one separation point arranged in the first bypass channel between the inlet opening and the at least one measuring element, the at least one separation point dividing the first bypass channel into a measuring channel in which the at least one measuring element is arranged and a second bypass channel that bypasses the at least one measuring element in the flow direction, the at least one separation point laying outside of a projection of the inlet opening in the flow direction and being formed by the separating wall; and an inner wall surface arranged downstream from the inlet opening in the first bypass channel, the inner wall surface extending parallel to the inlet opening and completely covering the projection of the inlet opening in the flow direction; wherein the inner wall surface is arranged between the at least one separation point, an upstream beginning of the separating wall, and a downstream end of the separating wall.
