Abstract
A thermally responsive flow meter may comprise a coil and a plate coupled to the coil. The plate may define a first airflow aperture. The plate may translate in a circumferential direction in response to a thermal expansion of the coil. The thermally responsive flow meter may regulate the flow of air through a second airflow aperture.
