Abstract

See full text

A flow generator 21 for a respiratory therapy system configured to deliver a breathable gas flow to a patient comprises a housing 27 comprising an inlet 28 and an outlet 25 and a gas flow path between the inlet 28 and outlet 25. An impeller is mounted within the housing 27 for rotation about an axis, the impeller configured to be rotationally driven by a motor to provide a gas flow along the gas flow path. Various embodiments are disclosed in which the flow generator 21 further comprises a sensor 23 mounted in the housing 27 in the gas flow path and configured to detect a property of the gas flow. The sensor 23 may be mounted in the outlet 25 so as to project into the gas flow path. Flow generator may comprise an axial inlet 28 and a tangential outlet 25. In another embodiment the sensor 23 may be mounted in the inlet 28.
