DETERMINING THE PHASE COMPOSITION OF A FLUID FLOW

摘要

A method of identifying the phase composition and/or changes in the phase composition of a fluid flowing through a turbomachine. The method comprises the steps of (a) monitoring changes in at least one electrical parameter associated with operation of the turbomachine, and (b) employing a known correlation between phase composition and or phase composition changes, and changes in the electrical parameter(s) to associate the monitored changes with changes in the actual phase composition of the fluid.
