Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum selbsttätigen Spülen von Flüssigkeitsleitungen, insbesondere Trinkwasserleitungen. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung auch eine Vorrichtung zum selbsttätigen Spülen von Flüssigkeitsleitungen, insbesondere Trinkwasserleitungen. Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum selbsttätigen Spülen anzugeben, welche eine an die Gegebenheiten besser angepasstes und verlässlicheres Spülverhalten ermöglicht. Das technische Problem wird durch ein Verfahren zum selbsttätigen Spülen von mindestens einer Flüssigkeitsleitung, insbesondere Trinkwasserleitung, bei dem ein Temperaturverlauf der Flüssigkeit gemessen wird, bei dem die Messdaten ausgewertet werden und bei dem das selbsttätige Spülen der mindestens einen Flüssigkeitsleitung durch ein Ergebnis der Auswertung beeinflusst wird, gelöst. Das technische Problem wird auch durch eine Vorrichtung zum selbsttätigen Spülen von Flüssigkeitsleitungen, insbesondere Trinkwasserleitungen, gelöst, welche Mittel (2) zur Messung der Temperatur, Mittel (28) zum Erfassen, Speichern und Auswerten der gemessenen Temperaturwerte und Mittel (16) zum Durchführen eines Spülvorgangs aufweist.

The invention relates to a method for the automatic rinsing of liquid lines, especially drinking water pipes. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a device for the automatic rinsing of liquid lines, in particular drinking water pipes. The invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a method and a device for automatic rinsing, which enables a more suitable and reliable flushing behavior to the circumstances. The technical problem is solved by a method for automatic flushing of at least one liquid line, in particular drinking water line, in which a temperature profile of the liquid is measured, in which the measured data are evaluated and in which the automatic flushing of the at least one liquid line is influenced by a result of the evaluation , solved. The technical problem is also solved by a device for automatic flushing of liquid lines, in particular drinking water lines, which means (2) for measuring the temperature, means (28) for detecting, storing and evaluating the measured temperature values and means (16) for performing a Flushing has.
