Abstract: A measuring device for a heat exchanger includes a pressure pipe arrangement that is spaced using webs and that has a heating side and an isolation side and that is implemented with at least one heat flow sensor. A heat flow sensor is arranged on the heating side in such a way that at least two temperatures T1 and T2 and the temperature difference thereof can be detected there, and additionally at least one temperature sensor for measuring a temperature T3 is arranged on the isolation side and at a distance to the heat flow sensor.

Abstract: Certain techniques involve the use of a device including a fluid distributor which has at least one flow duct with an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The inlet opening can be connected to a supply line for a fluid. Means for moving the fluid distributor are provided. Additionally, means are provided for recording an environmental parameter through the outlet opening.

Abstract: A boiler of a combustion plant has at least one heat exchanging device which can be traversed by a medium from an inlet to an outlet and is held in the interior of the boiler by means of at least one suspension device, wherein means for determining the temperature of the medium are provided at least at the inlet or at the outlet, and the at least one suspension device has means for determining the weight of the at least one heat exchanging device. Also proposed are a cleaning control device, a cleaning method and a method for operating a combustion plant which permit a considerable reduction in the cleaning expenditure, so that maintenance costs can be kept low.

Abstract: A testing tube comprises a glass tube having breakable tips at each end which may be broken to facilitate the passage of gas to be tested through the tube. The tube is separated by a plurality of mounting elements for resilient discs into a plurality of separate chambers which includes a chamber having a breakable ampule therein and a chamber having a layer of reaction material therein. In addition, the test tube contains a filter element which is located between two adjacent chambers. The filter element comprises a tubular ring member which is insertable in the glass tube and has an outwardly flaring end adjacent one end which bears tightly against the walls of the tube and permits the insertion of a filter disc into the flaring end so that it rests against a support ledge in the bore of the ring member. The filter is held by a cover portion which includes a resilient ring having a bead which engages into a groove defined in the bore overlying the ledge.

Abstract: The gas or gas-carried suspended matter indicator tube includes a reagent therein for detecting gases or suspended matter in the gas which are passed through the tube. The tube is drawn down at each end and sealed. Each end of the tube or the portion of the tube at which the reagent ends, is retained by fixing elements, which comprise glass granules which are sintered.
