Abstract

In a method for monitoring a pump arranged in a flow path to pump a fluid, the temperature of a fluid is regulated by a tempering element during the operation of the pump. The regulation of the temperature may include detecting at least one status point which is formed from an energy supplied to the tempering element and a temperature slope of the tempering element. The status point may be determined in a hazard range by checking whether the status point is located outside of a normal status range, which means that the lifespan of the pump is limited.
