Abstract
A steam leakage measuring device particularly for use in a steam trap having a detector member which includes a vibration sensor and a temperature sensor which are connected separately to a signal processing or arithmetic unit receiving and processing the temperature and vibration signals from the detector member. The temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is converted into a saturated pressure measurement and a true steam leakage measurement is developed in the signal processing unit based upon a predetermined relationship between the sensed vibration level and a leakage measurement for a particular developed pressure level.
Claims3
A device for measuring steam leakage particularly in a steam device comprising:
- detector means including vibration sensor means for sensing vibration and temperature sensor means for sensing temperature;
- and signal processing means consisting of an arithmetic unit receiving and processing signals representative of a vibration level and of a temperature level in said steam device developed from said detector means for determining steam leakage based upon said processed signals.
