<p>A temperature-dependent resistor or hot wire is extended over at least three anchoring points and to improve the measuring accuracy of the hot wire and to ensure sufficiently high temperatures over the entire active length of the hot wire during a cleaning step by burning, the hot wire is configured in the shape of loops at all anchoring points and the intersecting wire sections of the loops are conductively connected with one another. Current lead wires are preferably conductively attached to the hot wire by means of which the current is conducted to an electric control device. The end anchoring points are preferably electrically heated during an interruption of the measuring process of the hot wire and the hot wire may be directed in a W-shape over anchoring points whereat the hot wire is connected to the electric current, during the measuring process, via the two central, symmetrical anchoring points and upon an interruption of the measuring process, by means of a switching device, via the two end anchoring points.</p> |
