600225 The invention refers to a fouling detection setup (1) and method for determining the amount of fouling (5) of surfaces (3) of fluid (6) treating devices (2) and/or internal functional components (4) of devices, which are exposed to the fluid and are subjected to fouling. Fouling detection setups and methods are useful for monitoring the amount of fouling of surfaces, e.g. heat-transfer surfaces and also for monitoring the cleaning procedure of fluid treating devices and/or internal functional components of devices. The detection setup (1) comprises at least one first sensor (7), which comprises means (9) for measuring the optical transparency T and/or electrical conductive conductivity Q of the fluid (6) including at least one sensitive area (8) that is located within the surfaces (3) and wherein the area is at least temporarily exposed to the fluid (6). The area (8) of the measuring sensor (7), comprises at least one first electrically conductive surface (10), and the sensor (7) further comprises a second electrically conductive surface (11), which is at least temporarily exposed to the fluid, preferably located within the area (8), but spatially separated to the first electrically conductive surface (10). |
