  • Patent number: 8732950
    Abstract: A method for a production of a heat exchanger for an inline measuring device includes the steps of: producing first opening provided for the connection of the heat exchanger to a temperature control piping system in a first sheet part serving for the production of one of the heat exchanger sheets; laying the first sheet part on a second sheet part serving likewise for the production of one of the heat exchanger sheets; producing an edge connection seam and inner connection locations by welding of the two superimposed sheet parts; introducing fluid through a first opening into a chamber remaining between the two sheets; superimposing a static pressure on the fluid in the chamber which exceeds a static pressure of a surrounding atmosphere to such a degree that an expansion of the chamber is initiated; and plastically deforming material of the thinner of the two sheet parts by expanding the chamber by means of the fluid with superimposed pressure.

  • Publication number: 20110317390
    Abstract: An electronics housing comprises a housing basic body having a cavity, especially a single cavity. The housing basic body includes a side wall laterally bordering the cavity, an open end and a rear wall bounding the cavity on an end lying opposite the open end and remote therefrom. Also included is a housing lid releasably connected to the housing basic body on the open end and sealing the housing basic body; and an intermediate floor. The intermediate floor, in the case of the electronics housing of the invention, forms: a gap extending between an inner surface of the side wall of the housing basic body and a lateral surface of the intermediate floor facing the inner surface; and two housing chambers in the cavity of the housing basic body separated from one another by the intermediate floor. A first housing chamber is arranged on a first side of the intermediate floor facing the housing lid and a second housing chamber is arranged on a second side of the intermediate floor facing away from the housing lid.

  • Publication number: 20070062035
    Abstract: The apparatus includes at least one heat exchanger secured on an inline measuring device. Temperature-control fluid flows through a heat exchanger, at least at times during operation, for the purpose of transporting heat. The apparatus additionally includes securement structure for the, especially releasable, fixing of the heat exchanger externally on the inline measuring device. The heat exchanger has an inner wall, especially a trough- or dish-shaped inner wall, contacting the inline measuring device externally at least partially flushly, as well as an outer wall fixed to the inner wall. The outer wall is connected with the inner wall via a connecting seam running along an edge region and sealing against escape of the temperature-control fluid, and via a plurality of, especially point, or ring, shaped, inner connection locations, which are arranged spaced from one another in an inner region at least partially enclosed by the edge connection seam.
