Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring the separation of lime particles from a water stream, including a water inlet via which water that contains lime particles is fed, a separation chamber, within which the lime particles are separated from the water by centrifugal forces, and a water outlet, via which the water from which the lime particles have been separated is discharged, a collection chamber being provided for receiving the lime particles separated from the water and a sensor system being provided on the collection chamber, by means of which sensor system the separation process of the lime particles from the water stream can be monitored.
Claims15
An apparatus for monitoring separation of lime particles from a water stream, comprising:
- a water inlet, via which water that contains lime particles is fed,
- a separation chamber, within which the lime particles are separated from the water by centrifugal forces,
- a water outlet, via which the water from which the lime particles have been separated is discharged,
- a collection chamber provided for receiving the lime particles separated from the water, and
- a sensor system provided at the collection chamber, by which the sensor system monitors a separation process of the lime particles from the water stream.
A method for monitoring function of a water treatment unit, comprising the steps of:
- feeding water treated by a water treatment unit into a separation chamber of a separator, in which the water containing lime particles is set into a rotational movement;
- separating the lime particles from the water by centrifugal forces acting on the lime particles;
- feeding the lime particles into a collection chamber of the separator;
- and
- monitoring separation of the lime particles in the collection chamber by a sensor system.
