Abstract
A process for monitoring the flow of flowing media, especially for acquiring the heat transport capacity of the flowing medium, in which a measurement signal of a temperature measurement element influenced by at least one heating element and the medium flowing past it is monitored and in which an output signal is generated when the measurement signal of the temperature measurement element exceeds or falls below a switching point. A reduction of the reaction time of the process for monitoring the flow of flowing media is guaranteed by the heat output of the heating element and/or the location of the switching point changing as a function of the output signal.
