  • Heat exchanger comprising an ultrasound sensor for determining a tube wall thickness of a heat-exchanger tube of the heat exchanger and method for operating such a heat exchanger
    Patent number: 12760976
    Abstract: A heat exchanger and method for operating heat exchanger, the heat exchanger includes multiple heat-transfer tubes for transporting a first fluid in order to transfer heat between the first fluid and a second fluid via the heat-transfer tubes. In order to increase a usability, it is provided that an ultrasound sensor is respectively arranged on one or more of the heat-transfer tubes for the in situ determination of tube wall thicknesses of the heat-transfer tubes. The respective ultrasound sensor is designed for a working pressure of more than 30 bar and/or a working temperature of more than 80° C., and the respective ultrasound sensor is connected to an electronic data acquisition unit for the transfer of data, in order to transfer measurement data to the electronic data acquisition unit during operation of the heat exchanger.
