Sensor cell and measuring device

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The patent describes an advanced measuring cell designed to analyze fluid streams, featuring an integrated temperature control system. This temperature regulation allows precise management of the channel's temperature through which the fluid flows, preventing unwanted effects such as particle sedimentation or crystallization that could distort measurement accuracy. The measuring cell includes overlapping optical windows for fluid analysis using light and can be constructed with various temperature control mechanisms such as heated fluid channels, electric heating elements, infrared, or induction heating. It is usually integrated into a larger measuring apparatus with a light source and a detection unit for analyzing fluids, suspensions, or particles in real-time.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Real-time monitoring of crystallization processes in chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Quality control in liquid processing industries where temperature-sensitive measurements are essential.
• Research applications in laboratories requiring precise analysis of particles or suspensions within fluids under controlled temperatures.
• Integration into industrial process control systems for feedback and automation based on fluid composition or particle size detection.
• Online analysis in food, beverage, or water treatment industries to detect impurities, sediment, or particulates.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Greatly improves measurement reliability by controlling the temperature environment inside the measuring cell, preventing artifacts caused by temperature-induced sedimentation or crystallization.
• Enables continuous, online, and non-invasive analysis of suspensions or particulates in fluid streams.
• Design flexibility through multiple options for temperature control (fluid jacket, electric, infrared, induction), allowing adaptation to different operational environments.
• Easy maintenance and access due to construction with removable plates and accessible temperature control zones.
• Potential for automation and real-time feedback in industrial processes, enhancing quality control and reducing human intervention.
• Chemical resistance of the measuring cell materials expands application range and reduces risk of equipment degradation.
