摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a method for monitoring any erosion of an autonomous valve (12), wherein the autonomous valve is adapted to control a flow of fluid (26) by exploiting at least one of the viscosity of the fluid, the Bernoulli effect, and any stagnation pressure, and wherein the autonomous valve includes at least one component (22, 24) exposed to the flow and comprising a specific material, which method comprises: detecting in fluid (30) having passed the autonomous valve any of the specific material (A), whereby detection of the specific material indicates erosion of the autonomous valve. The present invention also relates to a system and an autonomous valve which allow monitoring of any erosion of the valve.</p> |
