  • Patent number: 12131838
    Abstract: A system and method for degassing cables, such as e.g. High-Voltage Alternative Current (HVAC) or High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables, where the system has a reel having a perforated cylinder wall and sealing elements adapted to seal off the inner space of the reel, a gas duct in fluid connection with the inner space, and a source of pressurised and heated gas fluidly connected to the gas duct. The method incudes winding a cable onto the reel and blow heated and pressurised gas into the inner space of the reel/cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20240337514
    Abstract: The invention relates to a field device with a sensor for detecting a physical measured variable, comprising a housing with a sensor neck which is introduced into the housing. A rotationally symmetrical pin-shaped clamping element is introduced into a receiving element of the housing on a plane which is tangential to the rotational axis of the housing. The rotationally symmetrical pin-shaped clamping element is designed such that, by being inserted into the receiving element, the clamping element exerts a clamping force in the radial direction between the receiving element and the sensor neck so that both a movement of the sensor neck in the tubular section of the housing in the direction of the rotational axis as well as a rotation of the sensor neck in the tubular section of the housing about the rotational axis are prevented.

  • Publication number: 20240192035
    Abstract: A protective hood has a longitudinal axis and a hood wall, which has an open first end and a closed second end and forms a hood chamber. The hood chamber is designed to receive an electronics housing of a field device along the longitudinal axis via the open first end. The protective hood has at least one fastening apparatus, which is designed to be brought into mechanical contact with the electronics housing. Without an application of force, the protective hood has a first shape in which the fastening apparatus is at a first distance from the longitudinal axis, characterized in that the protective hood can be elastically deformed, by an application of force, into a second shape in which the fastening apparatus is at a second distance from the longitudinal axis, the second distance being greater than the first distance.

  • Patent number: 12007025
    Abstract: An assembly comprises a circular panel; an annular body; and an elastomer ring. The annular body has a panel seat surrounded by a lateral surface having a ring shaped outer groove bounded in a first axial direction by a first outer shoulder and bounded in an opposing, second axial direction by a second outer shoulder. Adjoining the first outer shoulder is a guide surface having a radius monotonically increasing with separation from the first shoulder. The circular panel has an outer lateral surface having a peripheral inner groove extending radially inwards. The two inner shoulders have a convex contour in which the rotational axis of the circular panel extends. The elastomer ring is clamped between both inner shoulders and both outer shoulders, whereby a shifting of the circular panel out of the annular body is prevented up to a limit loading.
