Abstract

Ein Lüftungsmast-Überwachungssystem für Tankstellen enthält eine thermische Durchfluss-Messvorrichtung (30) und eine Kohlenwasserstoff-Messvorrichtung (30). Die thermische Durchfluss-Messvorrichtung (30) weist eine Heizeinrichtung und einen im Strömungsweg liegenden, auf die Temperatur der Heizeinrichtung reagierenden Temperatursensor auf und ist dazu eingerichtet, den über einen Lüftungsmast (4) eines Vorratstanks (1) einer Tankstelle aus dem Vorratstank (1) austretenden bzw. in den Vorratstank (1) eintretenden Gasvolumenstrom zu erfassen. Die Kohlenwasserstoff-Messvorrichtung (30) ist dazu eingerichtet, die Richtung des über den Lüftungsmast (4) aus dem Vorratstank (1) austretenden bzw. in den Vorratstank (1) eintretenden Gasvolumenstroms zu erfassen. Vorzugsweise ist als weitere Systemkomponente eine Steuervorrichtung vorgesehen, die dazu eingerichtet ist, von Messvorrichtungen des Systems abgegebene Messsignale zu empfangen und zu verarbeiten.

A gas station mast monitoring system includes a thermal flow meter (30) and a hydrocarbon meter (30). The thermal flow measuring device (30) has a heating device and a temperature sensor which lies in the flow path and reacts to the temperature of the heating device and is adapted to dispense via a ventilation mast (4) of a storage tank (1) of a filling station from the storage tank (1). To emerge emerging or in the storage tank (1) entering gas volume flow. The hydrocarbon measuring device (30) is adapted to detect the direction of the over the ventilation mast (4) from the storage tank (1) exiting or in the storage tank (1) entering gas volume flow. As a further system component, a control device is preferably provided which is set up to receive and process measurement signals delivered by measuring devices of the system.
