We're looking for an airflow sensor that we can install in our product (power supply). Instead of measuring the rotation of the fan with a Hall-Effect sensor, one of our customers has asked that we consider a sensor that can directly measure the airflow either immediately in front and behind.
Although I'm familiar with using airflow sensors for design and testing, like hot-wire anemometers, I would like to know if there are product-based sensors, ideally something off-the-shelf, that we can install in our product. We're not looking for accurate flow-rate measurements, but instead we would like to ascertain in the fan is on or off.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
