Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a diaphragm device (38) and to a method for protecting an optical observation opening (39), in particular for protecting the observation opening against contaminants from a dirty atmosphere (35) in a blast furnace or the like, having a nozzle unit and a purging gas chamber (43), wherein the nozzle unit forms a diaphragm aperture (26) for the observation opening and is used to form a purging gas flow, wherein the purging gas chamber is formed between an optical surface (41) of the observation opening and the diaphragm aperture. A purging gas is applied to the purging gas chamber and purging gas can be led through the diaphragm aperture into the dirty atmosphere, wherein the nozzle unit has a flow guiding device (31, 49) which effects guidance of the flow of purging gas escaping into the dirty atmosphere.
