Abstract

[EN] The invention relates to the design and production of a microelectronic chip comprising an integrated assembly of gas flow and temperature sensors. The inventive microchip can be used to determine the concentrations of different gases in an environment, as well as the flow rates and temperatures thereof. The aforementioned measurements can be used to monitor combustion in a household furnace and to adjust the operation thereof in order to obtain safe, low-emission combustion.

[ES] En la presente invención se reivindica el diseño y fabricación de un chip microelectrónico que integra un conjunto de sensores de gases, flujo y temperatura. Con este nuevo microchip es posible determinar las concentraciones de diversos gases en un ambiente, su caudal y temperatura. Dichas medidas permiten monitorizar la combustión en una caldera doméstica y actuar sobre su funcionamiento para conseguir una combustión baja en emisiones y segura.
