METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE LIQUID LEVEL IN A BOILER

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of determining a liquid level in a boiler (12) of an apparatus (10) having a temperature sensor (24) for sensing a temperature (T) which is indicative of a temperature of the liquid inside the boiler (12), comprising the steps of: inducing a temporary deflection of the temperature (T) sensed by the temperature sensor (24); determining an evaluation temperature (T) sensed by the temperature sensor (24) after inducing the deflection; and determining the liquid level from at least the evaluation temperature (T). Advantageously, the invention provides that the evaluation temperature (T) is determined by monitoring the deflection and by defining an extreme value (T, T) of the deflection as the evaluation temperature (T). Further, the present invention relates to an steam generating apparatus adapted for executing such a method, a domestic appliance having such a steam generating apparatus.
