Abstract
An arrangement of a fluid-carrying element directly or indirectly on a housing of a compressor, wherein the fluid-carrying element is fluidically connected to the compressor, wherein a separate detection line having a detection opening is provided and the fluid-carrying element has at least one seal for closing the detection opening, which closes the detection opening in a desired assembly position, and wherein for detecting the pressure in the detection line, at least one pressure sensor is provided.
Claims10
An arrangement of a fluid-carrying element directly or indirectly on a housing of a compressor, wherein the fluid-carrying element is fluidically connected to the compressor, the arrangement comprising:
- a separate detection line having a detection opening;
- at least one seal that closes and seals the detection opening in a proper assembly position of the fluid-carrying element on the housing;
- and
- at least one pressure sensor to detect a pressure in the detection line, such that depending upon the pressure detected by the at least one pressure sensor, it is determined whether a leak occurs at the at least one seal which indicates that the fluid-carrying component is in an improper assembly position.
