AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about a cooling system for a detector housing. The system includes a cooling compress that is to be fixed to the housing. The cooling fluid increases the contact pressure force between the cooling body and the housing surface, improving the thermal coupling. The cooling compress is made of a deformable material that allows for a close-contoured shape adaptation to the housing surface, maximizing the contacting areas. The cooling compress is also mechanically protected from external damage. The technical effects of the invention are improved cooling efficiency and reliable protection of the cooling compress against damage.

Problems solved by technology

The solutions known hitherto in level measurement, for example in the form of concentric, double-walled pipes, through which water flows, require for complex superficial structures of housings and containers, for example elevations, connections, displays or mechanical fastening devices, an adaptation, which is technically often complex and thus cost-intensive, of the temperature-control system, to continue to ensure the necessary access to the functional elements on the surface of the device.

Embodiment Construction

[0048]The illustrations in the drawings are schematic and are not to scale.

[0049]When identical reference numerals are used in the following description of the figures, they denote identical or similar elements.

[0050]FIG. 1 shows an arrangement for level measurement in a container 100 and is to illustrate the context of the use of level measuring devices. The container 100 has a lower access 101 and an upper access 102, which is configured as an inflow or outflow for the liquid 103 present in the container 100. FIG. 1 shows by way of example two configurations of measuring devices, here as a radiometric level measuring device 112 and as an ultrasound level measuring device 110. The radiometric level measuring device 112 comprises a detector housing 105 and a rod detector 107 which is attached to the outside of the housing of the container 100 by the fastening elements 109. This detector is used to detect the radioactive radiation 108 emitted by one or more radioactive radiation sour...

Abstract

To cool detectors of level measuring devices, it is possible to use cooling compresses which are fastened to the detector housing. Such a cooling compress includes a cooling body which at least in part consists of a deformable material. The inner wall of the cooling body of the cooling compress is configured such that it moves towards a corresponding region of the outer surface of the detector to form a thermal contact with a corresponding region of the outer surface of the housing when a cooling fluid flows through the cooling body.

Description

[0001]In many cases, this is achieved by an external temperature-control system, for example by a cooling unit or a heating system. Here, the thermal energy is transported by means of a suitable medium, such as a fluid.[0002]The solutions known hitherto in level measurement, for example in the form of concentric, double-walled pipes, through which water flows, require for complex superficial structures of housings and containers, for example elevations, connections, displays or mechanical fastening devices, an adaptation, which is technically often complex and thus cost-intensive, of the temperature-control system, to continue to ensure the necessary access to the functional elements on the surface of the device.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]According to a first aspect of the invention, a cooling compress is provided for cooling a detector of a level measuring device during a level measurement. The cooling compress comprises a cooling body which at least partly consists of a deforma...
