Abstract

An airflow rate sensor is provided with a through hole, and a detection unit is disposed inside the through hole. The airflow rate is calculated based on the output voltage resulting from the temperature difference and the like caused in the detection unit by the air flowing through the through hole. A duct is provided with a concave portion so as to protrude from outside the duct toward the inside thereof. The airflow rate sensor is disposed in the duct so as to cover the concave portion, in which the through hole is in communication with the space in the concave portion. The concave portion has a bottom provided with an opening. Accordingly, an installation structure of a sensor for reliably sensing a flow rate and a projector apparatus having the same are provided.
