A monitoring apparatus 212 for a steam plant comprises a vibro-acoustic sensor 211 associated with the steam plant, the sensor 211 being configured to provide an output related to the vibro-acoustic behaviour of at least a portion of the steam plant. A water hammer identification unit 213 is coupled to the sensor 211 and is configured to analyse the output of the sensor and to identify a signature of water hammer occurring in the steam plant. The invention also includes a corresponding method of monitoring a steam plant. |
