Title: Proof for checking liquid
Inventor: FOELLER WERNER
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 1993-03-02
Abstract: 2.1 Moisture occasionally diffuses from the liquid to be monitored into the interior of the insulation sheath. It passes from there into the probe housing in which it is deposited as a film of moisture. The result of this in known probes is the occurrence of leakage currents which cause malfunctioning. The aim in the novel probe is to avoid malfunctioning due to a film of moisture. 
<??>2.2 The insulation sheath (7) is guided out in one piece in the probe housing (3) far beyond the end of the press-on spring (14) remote from the liquid. The associated spring abutment is formed either by a sleeve (13) or a cap (30); in each case, the two respectively surround the insulation sheath (7). There are lengths of insulation in the probe housing (3) which are so long that malfunctioning is suppressed. In addition, the probe housing (3) can have large-area ventilation apertures (27) which oppose the films of moisture. 
<??>2.3 Probes, in particular for liquids which can diffuse through the insulation sheath.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/01402 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 13, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 13, 1995 PCT Filed Jun. 22, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/00459 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 7, 1993The invention includes an electrolytic cell for gas-developing or gas-consuming electrolytic reactions and processes, and an electrolysis process therefor. According to the invention, the capillary slit electrode has conduits enabling the separate flow of reaction gas and electrolyte/permeate in the electrode. The electrode is preferably hydrophilic in a narrow internal region for mounting on a separator, while elsewhere it is hydrophobic. Thus electrolyte/permeate penetrates only into the region of the capillary slit electrode near the separator, while the region away from the separator remains free of electrolyte/permeate, so facilitating the unimpeded flow of the reaction gas. The invention is applicable especially in electrolytic cells for chlor-alkali or hydrogen electrolysis, and in the construction of cells for the generation of power.
