The coarse filter (60) is arranged to not contact the fine filter (70).

Abstract: A process water analysis sampling assembly includes an immersion probe having a first filter unit and a second filter unit which are fluidically separated from each other, a flushing liquid tank, and a fluidics control. The fluidics control includes a pump arrangement which is fluidically connected to each of the first filter unit and the second filter unit, at least two liquid pumps which are arranged to be mutually independent from each other, and a valve arrangement having plurality of switchable valves. The fluidics control controls a sampling and a flushing of the immersion probe. The fluidic control fluidically connects the flushing liquid tank to one of the first filter unit and the second filter unit and simultaneously connects an analysis unit to the other one of the first filter unit and the second filter unit.

Abstract: A nephelometric turbidimeter for measuring a turbidity of a liquid sample in a transparent sample cuvette. The nephelometric turbidimeter includes a cuvette chamber housing with a cuvette chamber having the transparent sample cuvette arranged therein, and a drying apparatus. The drying apparatus includes a cuvette chamber inlet opening which vents the cuvette chamber, a cuvette chamber outlet opening which de-vents the cuvette chamber, an air circulator which circulates air from the cuvette chamber outlet opening to the cuvette chamber inlet opening, and a drying body. The drying body is provided as a container of a hygroscopic agent defined by a drying substance which is arranged in a drying path between the cuvette chamber outlet opening and the cuvette chamber inlet opening so that air flows through the drying body.

Abstract: A method for detecting a contamination of a cuvette of a turbidimeter. The turbidimeter includes a light source which emits a light beam directed to a cuvette, a scattering light detector, and a diffuser with a body and an actuator. The actuator moves the body between a parking position and a test position where the body is between the measurement light source and the cuvette, thereby interferes with the light beam, and generates a diffuse test light entering the cuvette. The method includes activating the actuator to move the body from the parking position into the test position, activating the light source, measuring a test light intensity received by the scattering light detector, comparing the test light intensity measured with a reference light intensity, and generating a contamination signal if a difference between a reference light intensity and the test light intensity measured exceeds a first threshold value.

Abstract: A nephelometric turbidimeter for measuring a turbidity of a liquid sample in a sample cuvette. The nephelometric turbidimeter includes a measurement light source configured to emit an axial parallel light beam directed to the sample cuvette, a scattering light detector arranged to receive a scattered light from the sample cuvette, and a diffuser comprising a diffuser body and a diffuser actuator. The diffuser actuator is configured to move the diffuser body between a parking position in which the diffuser body does not interfere with the axial parallel light beam and a test position where the diffuser body is arranged between the measurement light source and the sample cuvette so that the diffuser body interferes with the axial parallel light beam and generates a diffuse test light entering the sample cuvette.

Abstract: A method for producing a bearing race which has electrical insulation for a rolling bearing, and a bearing race for a rolling bearing produced, for example, by the method. The method includes the steps of: providing a body of the bearing race, applying a multilayer insulating coating enclosing the body of the bearing race at least in segments by winding the body of the bearing race with a carrier material enclosed by a resin for forming the electrical insulation. The insulating layer has an additive improving the electrical properties, particularly the dielectric properties, and/or mechanical properties of the electrical insulation. A bearing race and a method for producing a bearing race are disclosed. The bearing race is particularly suitable for shield alternating currents.

Abstract: A wear-resistant and high temperature-resistant friction lining, in particular for a transport roller. The lining has a wear-resistant friction component embedded in a matrix and an additional component. The additional component is configured such that it is converted when exceeding a limit temperature while absorbing energy. Due to the endothermic reaction, a cooling effect takes place, which protects the friction lining. In particular, a so-called PBO fiber is used as the friction component.
