Abstract
A system for automatically detecting liquid carry over in a gas stream includes a sample line communicated with the gas stream for separating a sample of the gas stream; and an impactometer positioned along the line for being impacted by the sample, and for generating a signal indicative of sample density.
Claims3
A method for detecting liquid carry over in a gas stream, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a sample stream from said gas stream;
- flowing said sample stream to an impactometer positioned along said sample line for being impacted by said sample, and for generating a signal indicative of sample density, wherein the sample density is obtained comparing to impactometer calibration data, and further comprising obtaining the impactometer calibration data using an inert gases of known density at given pressure and temperature conditions;
- and
- determining an amount of liquid in said sample stream from said signal.
