<p>The sensing hose (8), through which a transport medium (p) flows, is laid on the medium (m, 20) to be monitored. This medium (m, 20) can, for example, be a substance flowing in a pipeline (4), or else a still, sealed refuse dump (20). A pump (10) and a sensor (12) are connected to the sensing hose (8). According to the invention, a tracer substance (t) which is capable of diffusion with respect to the sensing hose (8) and can be detected by the sensor (12) is added or fed to the medium (m) to be monitored. A leak in the container for the medium (m) is thus detected indirectly via the tracer substance (t). <IMAGE></p> |
