Abstract: A pressure transfer module for transfer of pressures less equals 100 mbar, and suitable for high temperature applications, comprising an isolating diaphragm outwardly sealing a first pressure chamber; a transfer diaphragm outwardly sealing a second pressure chamber; and a pressure transfer path connecting the first pressure chamber with the second pressure chamber. The first and the second pressure chambers and the pressure transfer path are filled with a pressure transfer liquid, via which a pressure acting externally on the isolating diaphragm is transmitted to the transfer diaphragm. The pressure transfer liquid is under a pre-pressure, especially a pre-pressure of greater than or equal to 30 mbar, especially greater than or equal to 50 mbar.

Abstract: The temperature measuring circuit includes a plurality of temperature sensors, each of which is formed by a temperature-dependent measuring resistance having two current terminals and two voltage tapping terminals arranged in each case between an associated current terminal and the temperature-dependent measuring resistance. The temperature sensors are connected via the current terminals in series and the series circuit is connected via two current conductors to an evaluating circuit which sends a constant current through the measuring resistances connected in series. For measuring the voltage drops caused by the constant current at the individual measuring resistances the voltage tapping terminals of each temperature sensor are connected by voltage conductors to the evaluating circuit. The two voltage tapping terminals of two temperature sensors following each other in the series circuit and assigned to two interconnected current terminals are each connected via a resistance to a common voltage conductor.

Abstract: A dew-point sensor for a dew-point measuring device for measuring the water vapor dew point in gases comprises a sensor surface which is exposed to the gas to be measured and on which on cooling to the dew-point temperature water vapor condenses. Mounted on the sensor surface are two electrode structures which comprise electrode portions which are arranged a uniform interval parallel to each other and which are covered with a moisture-insensitive insulating layer. The reaching of the dew-point temperature is determined by measuring the impedance or capacitance between the two electrode structures. The distance between the electrode portions, arranged parallel to each other, of the two electrode structures is of the order of magnitude of the diameter of the largest condensation droplet forming on reaching the dew-point temperature, or smaller than said diameter, and the thickness of the insulating layer is small compared with the distance between the electrode portions.

Abstract: For measuring the water vapor dew point in gases, a moisture-dependent electrical quantity of a sensor surface suitable for indicating formation of dew droplets is held by temperature control at a desired value corresponding to a stable dew mass. The temperature of the sensor surface corresponding to the desired value of the moisture-dependent electrical quantity is measured as dew point temperature. For compensating the influence of soiling, from time to time the desired value of the moisture-dependent electrical quantity is set in that the temperature of the sensor surface is lowered from a value lying above the dew point temperature and a periodic time temperature variation superimposed on the lowering. If the sensor surface is soiled, periodic time variations of the moisture-dependent electrical quantity occur at the same time but they become a monotonic variation when the dew point temperature is reached.
