Patent number: 9091639Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating and/or adjusting an analytical device for chemical substances. A predetermined concentration of a chemical substance in a reference liquid is measured by mixing the reference liquid with a reagent for producing a color change, followed by irradiating with light of a predetermined wavelength. Based on the absorption of the light by the reference liquid, a concentration is determined, which is compared with the predetermined concentration of the reference liquid. In the case of which a calibrating and/or adjusting associated with the measurement process is possible without long interruptions of the measurement process, the predetermined concentration of the reference liquid is gained by mixing at least two standard, which contain different concentrations of the chemical substance.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Endress + Hauser Conducta Gesellschaft für Mess-und Regeltechnik mbH + Co.

Publication number: 20150023791Abstract: The axial fan has a motor (1), on the rotor side of which an impeller is fixed, wherein fan blades (24) with a front and a rear edge (26, 27) project from the hub of said impeller. The motor (1) is fixed to a housing (3) by means of a suspension (2). The suspension has a bracing part (4 to 8) made of a flat material, said bracing part connecting the motor (1) to the housing (3) and being arranged in an approximately vertical manner in the flow direction of the air. The aim of the invention is to design the axial fan such that the axial fan has a high overall efficiency and only a low flow resistance. This is achieved in that the bracing part (4 to 8) is provided with at least one recess (7) over a part of the length of the bracing part. The flow resistance due to the bracing part is minimized by means of the recess. The recess reduces the weight of the axial fan.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2013Publication date: January 22, 2015Inventors: Omar Sadi, Andreas Gross, Lothar Ernemann, Frieder Lörcher
