Abstract
A monitoring device (118) for monitoring the leak-tightness of a vacuum-insulated system has a corrugated bellows (108) which is connected in terms of flow to an evacuated space (104) of the vacuum-insulated system in such a way that, in the event of an increase in pressure in the evacuated space, the length of the corrugated bellows (108) is adjusted beyond a threshold value. A position detector (113) connected to an energy store (115) responds to the change in length of the corrugated bellows and outputs a signal. The position detector outputs a signal to a display device (116), which provides an indication if a leak in the vacuum-insulated system occurs.

Monitoring device for monitoring the leak-tightness of a vacuum-insulated system comprising:
- a corrugated bellows which is connected in terms of flow to an evacuated space of the vacuum-insulated system in such a way that, in the event of an increase in pressure in the evacuated space, the length of the corrugated bellows is adjusted beyond a threshold value,
- whereupon a position detector connected to an energy store responds and outputs a signal.
