Definitions

  • Such a check immediately shows whether a connecting line is connected at all or whether the connecting line is possibly damaged if this damage is reflected in a reduction in the electrical conductivity.
  • a control device is activated by the monitoring device mentioned and exclusively by it, by means of which the shut-off devices of the pipelines to be connected via the connecting line are opened.
  • This link between the monitoring device and the control device is used according to the invention so that a safety check of the link takes place automatically before the shut-off elements open, an opening not taking place if faults of the type shown are detected. It is also important here that continuous monitoring of the operating state of the link is possible even while the product flow is running, and in the event of suddenly occurring faults an automatic closing of the shut-off devices arranged at the ends of the pipelines is triggered.
  • the electrically conductive connecting line is arranged insulated from the pipes. If necessary, resistors for discharging static electricity can be provided, by means of which the above-mentioned isolated connection of the Connection line are bridged. When a voltage is applied to the route mentioned at the beginning, defined potential relationships are created in the area of the end pieces, which enable a clear detection of faults in the area of each connecting line.
  • claims 4 to 6 are directed to different variants which differ essentially in the number of pipelines to be connected to one another.
  • two lines can be identified by the polarity of the DC voltage applied to their respective ends or the direction of the current resulting from this in the respective circuit.
  • the identification of a specific connection is thus carried out on the basis of the respective circuit in connection with the respective current direction.
  • a time-phased checking of the individual circuits takes place, with the identification of a specific connection using the respective circuit now being carried out in conjunction with a clock signal. So apart from the simple case of connecting only two pipes, there are always two parameters available for identifying the respectively coupled pipes.
  • FIG. 4 differs from that of FIG. 3 only in that now three pipes 39, 39 ', 39' are to be linked via connecting lines 3 with three pipes from a group of pipes 19 to 19 ''.
  • 40, 40 ', and 40 ⁇ each in the pipelines 39 to 39 ⁇ associated shut-off devices are designated.
  • the functional principle shown here is not limited to three pipes 39 to 39 ⁇ , but can also be used to a large extent to combine a first group of n pipes with selected pipes from a second group of m pipes.
