  • An embodiment of the filter element is that the ring disk facing the annular space is provided at its edge adjacent to the first ram edge and the second annular disc on its inner wall of the annular space contacting edge with recesses, wherein it can also be provided that the respective other peripheral edge of the annular discs has an O-ring seal. This gives the possibility of a flow through the sintered metal pipe section.
  • the invention provides that the protruding from the chamber end of the second plunger is equipped with a change in length, in particular the abrasion of the first plunger, recognizable making electronic or mechanical device.
  • a robust, simple and less susceptible to interference design of such an element may be that the protruding from the chamber plunger end is equipped with a pointer to which a fixed scale is assigned.
  • Fig. 1 shown in a simplified sectional view, generally designated 1 is used for applying knock pulses on a partially indicated pipe wall 2 in a pressure vessel 3, as used for example in coal gasification plants.
  • the device 1 is essentially constituted by a knock pulse generator 4 or actuator triggering the knocking impulses, whose e.g. pneumatically actuated thrust piston 5 in pulses via a piston rod 6, hereinafter referred to as second plunger 6, to a ram, hereinafter called the first plunger 7 transmits, which penetrates the pressure vessel wall 3 and via e.g. a baffle plate 18 attached to the tube wall which introduces momentum into the tube wall. Since the interior of the pressure vessel 3 both has a high temperature of about 500 ° C and a high pressure of e.g. 50 bar, the passage of the first plunger 7 is guided substantially gas-tight in the pressure vessel, including a jacket tube 8 with a pipe socket 9, which is welded to the pressure vessel 3, is screwed.
