  • Patent number: 10590825
    Abstract: A line connector for a fluid and a ready-made medial line including the line connector. The line connector includes a connecting piece with a flow-through channel in the interior thereof and extending in a longitudinal direction of the connecting piece. The connecting piece has at each of its two ends a coupling section that is designed such that a flexible media line or a tubing or an aggregate can be connected to an aggregate connector. The flow-through channel is provided with an electrical heating unit. In the region of the flow-through channel, between the connecting sections, a circumferential enclosed receiving housing is formed on the coupling piece and in which an optical sensor unit is disposed for measuring characteristics of the fluid flowing in the flow-through channel. The ready-made media line includes the line connector and a tubular media line connected on one or both ends thereof.
