PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to see when an installation needs to be cleaned and when each cleaning step can be ended.SOLUTION: The invention relates to a fouling detection setup (1) and fouling detection method for determining the amount of fouling (5) of surfaces (3) of fluid (6) treating devices (2) and/or internal functional components (4) of such devices, which are exposed to the fluid and are subjected to fouling. According to the invention, the detection setup (1) comprises at least one first sensor (7), with means (9) for measuring the optical transparency T and/or electrical conductive conductivity Q of the fluid (6). The sensor includes at least one sensitive area (8) located near and/or within the surfaces (3), where the sensitive area is at least temporarily exposed to the fluid (6). |
