  • Patent number: 8397587
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flow monitor for monitoring the flow of flowing media, wherein a paddle projecting into the flow transfers the rotating movement of the paddle onto a display device by means of a magnetic gear comprising a plurality of individual magnets corresponding with each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7833312
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a heatable dehumidifier. The heating of the dehumidifier is to be actuated only when several congruent time windows within which a temperature gradient is greater than or equal to 0 could be determined during a certain period of time, i.e. the heating is to be actuated only when no air flows into the interior of the expansion vessel of the transformer.

  • Patent number: 7468091
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for dehumidifying air and to an air dehumidifier. To this end, a filter element is provided that is filled with granular material that can be regenerated by baking out. For effecting this baking out, a heating device is provided that is only actuated when both a humidity sensor indicates that a humidity limit value has been exceeded as well as a relative pressure sensor or a comparable technical means indicates that, at the moment, no flow toward the oil expansion tank is recorded.

  • Patent number: 7191648
    Abstract: An electric power apparatus has a oil-filled vessel in which a float is connected to a float shaft that rotates as the float rises and falls with the level of oil. A level indicator has a display shaft extending along and pivotal about an axis, and coupled to the float shaft. An indicia display adjacent the shaft is swept by a pointer fixed on the shaft and juxtaposed with the indicia display go that the level of the oil in the vessel is indicated by the pointer. A disk fixed to the shaft has an outer periphery with a region of a shape having a radius varying angularly from one end of the region to an opposite end of the region. A noncontact proximity sensor is radially spacedly juxtaposed with the region of the disk for producing an output corresponding to the radial distance between the region and the sensor.
