Abstract
A fluid-tight line feedthrough for introducing an electric conductor into a high-pressure chamber includes a housing and an electric conductor that passes through the housing. A ceramic insulator is positioned between the housing and the electric conductor. The ceramic insulator is divided into a first insulator segment facing the electric conductor and a second insulator segment facing the housing, thereby forming a conical separating plane. A fitting made of an electrically conductive material is positioned between the two segments, the fitting being connected to the two segments and to the housing.
Claims15
A fluid-tight line feedthrough for introducing an electrical conductor (2) into a high-pressure chamber, comprising:
- a housing (4);
- the electrical conductor (2) arranged so as to penetrate the housing (4);
- a ceramic insulator (3) positioned between the housing (4) and the electrical conductor (2), the ceramic insulator (3) being subdivided into:
- a first insulator segment (7) facing the electrical conductor (2), and
- a second insulator segment (8) facing the housing (4);
- the ceramic insulator (3) being subdivided so as to form a conical separating plane (6) into the first insulator segment (7) and the second insulator segment (8);
- and
- a fitting (9) of an electrically conductive material positioned between the first and second insulator segments (7, 8), the fitting (9) being connected to the first and second insulator segments (7, 8) and to the housing (4), at least a portion of the fitting (9) being sandwiched between the first and second insulator segments (7, 8).
