  • Wide range flow measuring device having two Coriolis meters arranged in series and a bypass line to bypass the second Coriolis meter
    Patent number: 11959788
    Abstract: A measuring system for measuring a mass flow rate, a density, a temperature or a flow velocity. The measuring system includes a main line, a first Coriolis measuring device arranged in the main line, a second Coriolis measuring device arranged in series with the first Coriolis measuring device in the main line, a bypass line which bypasses the second Coriolis measuring device, a first valve arranged in the bypass line, and a computing unit which is connected to the first Coriolis measuring device and to the second Coriolis measuring device. The first valve opens depending on a pressure. The first Coriolis measuring device is designed for a higher maximum flow rate than the second Coriolis measuring device.

  • CONDITIONING DEVICE FOR REGULATING A GASEOUS OR LIQUID FLUID AT A CONSTANT TARGET TEMPERATURE
    Publication number: 20210063221
    Abstract: A conditioning device for regulating a gaseous or a liquid fluid to a constant target temperature includes an inlet fluidically connected to a supply system, an outlet fluidically connected to a consumer, a first fluid line arranged between the inlet and outlet, a heater arranged in the first fluid line, a second fluid line arranged to branch off from the first fluid line upstream of the heater and to open out into the first fluid line downstream of the heater, a regulating valve which regulates a fluid flow arranged either in the first fluid line or in the second fluid line, a temperature sensor arranged in the first fluid line downstream of where the second fluid line opens out into the first fluid line, and a check valve arranged either in the first fluid line or in the second fluid line in which the regulating valve is not arranged.
