Abstract:
A device (1) for determining at least one parameter of a medium flowing in a line (3) in a main flow direction (20), the medium comprising a gas-liquid mixture, the device comprising:a measurement housing (6) in the line (3); a conduit (22) that is disposed in the measurement housing (6) and has the following properties: the conduit (22) being divided into an inlet conduit (24), a deflection conduit (40), and an outlet conduit (44) and having an inlet opening (25), which is adjoined by the inlet conduit, which in turn is adjoined by the deflection conduit (40), into which the medium flows from the inlet conduit (24) and is deflected, and then flows through the outlet conduit (44) to at least one outlet opening (53), discharging into the line (3) at an outer face (8, 54) of the measurement housing (6), one part of the conduit (22) forming a measurement conduit (47), at least one measurement element (60) that is located in the measurement conduit (47) and is bathed by the flowing medium, and a liquid separation element (70) integrated with the deflection conduit (40), said liquid separation element (70) is embodied at least in part in labyrinthine fashion and has at least one separation inlet (64) and at least one separation outlet (68).
