Abstract:
1. An apparatus for temperature-control of an inline measuring device including at least one measuring tube inserted into the course of a process line and serving to convey a process fluid to be measured, which apparatus comprises: at least one, first heat exchanger secured on the inline measuring device and conveying, at least at times during operation, a temperature-control fluid serving for the transport of heat; and securement means for the attachment, especially the releasable attachment, of the at least one, first heat exchanger externally on the inline measuring device: said at least one first heat exchanger comprises an inner wall wherein: especially a trough-, or dish-shaped, inner wall, at least partially flushly contacting the exterior of the inline measuring device, together with an outer wall attached to said inner wall; said outer wall is connected with said inner wall via an edge connection seam running along an edge region and sealing against leakage of the temperature-control fluid, as well as via a plurality of inner connection locations, especially point or ring-shaped connection locations, which are arranged spaced from one another in an inner region at least partially surrounded by said edge connection seam, such that, between said inner wall and said outer wall, at least one chamber is formed exhibiting a plurality of sections communicating with one another and serving to convey the temperature-controlling fluid; and said at least one chamber is incorporated, via openings opening into such chamber, into a temperature-control piping-system conveying the temperature-control fluid.
