  • Patent number: 11920785
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (1) including two burners (10), which has a common exhaust gas guiding device (2) and a common supply device (3) for combustion air. A backflow barrier (4) blocks a flow of a gaseous medium in a flow direction and is arranged in the exhaust gas guiding device (2) or in the supply device (3). The backflow barrier (4) has an opening (40) and a movable element (41) which is movable between two positions. The opening (40) is open in case the movable element (41) is in one of the two positions and closed in case the movable element (41) is in another of the two positions.

  • Patent number: 11530942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filling level measuring device for measuring the filling level in a container through the wall thereof by means of ultrasound, having an ultrasonic measuring head, a controller, and a fastening device by means of which the filling level measuring device can be fastened to the container such that the ultrasonic measuring head is pressed against the wall of the container. The invention further relates to a method of operating such a filling level measuring device, wherein a sampling rate is used which is situation-dependent. The invention finally relates to an assembly made up of such a filling level measuring device and at least one spacer which can be attached to the lower edge of a container to be provided with the filling level measuring device.
