METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AND ANALYZING DEPOSITS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a device for detecting and analyzing deposits in a liquid-bearing system. In particular, the method comprising steps of: Emitting an ultrasonic emission signal towards the reflecting area by an ultrasonic transducer in a first step, detecting a ultrasonic reflection signal obtained by reflection of the ultrasonic emission signal in the reflecting area by detection means in a second step, determining a distribution of the run time of the detected ultrasonic reflection signal in response to a specified variable in a third step and analyzing the distribution in a fourth step in order to determine if deposits are deposited at least partially onto the reflecting area.
