An apparatus for infusion monitoring including a pressure transmission line branched from the infusion hose and a diaphragm connected with the infusion hose, the diaphragm being able to be connected with a pressure sensor for registering a change in curvature of the diaphragm. In order to achieve the aim of providing an apparatus of this type which renders possible on the one hand a reliable monitoring of infusion and on the other hand a way of preventing the production of a false alarm in a substantially reliable fashion, the apparatus of this type is so designed that in the infusion hose between the branch point of the pressure transmission line and the free end, adjacent to the patient, of the infusion hose a one-way valve is arranged, which permits a direction of flow to the patient.

An apparatus for warming and humidifying respiratory gases during artificial respiration includes two passive heat and moisture exchangers and an active warming and humidifying element disposed between them in a housing. The first passive heat and moisture exchanger serves to preheat and prehumidify cold and dry gases to be inhaled. In a further, downstream, active heat and moisture exchanger and the second heat and moisture exchanger, gases are additionally heated and humidified, thus ensuring optimum physiological conditioning of the respiratory gases to a temperature of 36.degree.-37.degree. C. and 100% relative humidity. In an exhalation phase, 70 to 80% of humidity and heat are recovered from the optimally conditioned humid and warmed respiratory gas with the aid of the two integral passive heat and moisture exchangers.

A switch suitable for DC applications includes: two fixed conductive contacts with first contact areas; a movable conductive bridge with two second contact areas for being connected to the two first contact areas in the on-status and for being disconnected from the two the first contact areas in the off-status; and two arc-extinguishing units configured to extinguish electric arcs occurring between the first and second contact areas after disconnecting the second contact areas from the first contact areas. First conductive arc-guiding elements extend from each first contact area into the corresponding arc-extinguishing unit and at least one second conductive arc-guiding element extends into the arc-extinguishing units suitably shaped to guide the electric arcs from each of the second contact areas of the movable bridge into the arc-extinguishing units.

A switch for multi-pole direct current service independent of polarity includes a plurality of switching chambers. Each chamber includes a double interrupter having two separate fixed contacts with a first contact area, a movable contact piece with two second contact areas, each for creating a connection between the contact areas in an ON state and for separating the contact areas in an OFF state, and at least two quenching devices for quenching arcs occurring, when the OFF state is brought about. The switch also includes magnets for exerting a magnetic field in an area of the contact areas to exert a magnetic force on the arcs and drive the arcs, independent of their current direction, in the direction of one of the erasing devices. The contact pieces are disposed with the second contact areas essentially in a line perpendicular to a direction of motion of the arcs.

A switch for polarity-independent multi-pole direct current operation includes at least two switching chambers. Each switching chamber includes a single circuit breaker with a stationary contact having a first contact region and a movable electrically conductive contact part having a second contact region. The stationary contact and movable contact part are configured to create a connection between the first and the second contact regions in the ON state and to disconnect the first and the second contact regions in the OFF state. Each chamber also includes two arc chutes for quenching an arc forming between the first and the second contact regions when switching to the OFF state. At least two magnets are configured to generate a magnetic field so as to exert a magnetic force on the arcs to divert each are in a direction of an arc chute independent of the direction of current.

The invention achieves the objective of ensuring that a solar installation mounted on a unit such as, for example, a residential house, can be safely switched off cost-effectively, whereby the consumers are to be galvanically disconnected from the solar installation, and the feed lines leading to the consumers are to be de-energized in case the safety switchgear has triggered a switch-off. A safety switchgear for a solar installation is proposed, whereby the solar installation consists of at least one photovoltaic element, of two connections, each to a feed line leading to a consumer, and said safety switchgear has a bypass that is situated between the two connections and upstream from the feed lines and that has at least one switching mechanism to close the contact points, whereby at least one additional switching mechanism for purposes of opening the contact points is arranged in each of the two feed lines. The invention is characterized in that the at least one switching mechanism in the bypass and the additional switching mechanisms present in each feed line of the photovoltaic installation are arranged, and can be jointly actuated by means of a coupler, in such a way that, when the safety switchgear is actuated, first the contact points of the at least one switching mechanism in each one of the two feed lines is opened and subsequently, with a time delay, the contact points of the at least one switching mechanism, which is situated in the bypass, are closed.
