- 17 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An optical monitoring system is provided for monitoring liquid passing through a closed pipe having a transparent window for visual access to the liquid flowing through the pipe. The monitoring system has a control means with an optical transmitter for creating an optical signal and an optical receiver for receiving and converting an optical signal into a first output signal. A fibre optic cable is connected at one end to the optical transmitter and at its other end to the optical receiver, and the cable has a gap between these ends. The gap of the fibre optic cable is mounted across the transparent window and is aligned to transmit the optical signal through the window of the pipe to detect individual droplets of the liquid flow. A timing means is connected to the optical receiver and creates a second signal output signal in response to the first output signal to produce an alarm in the event of insufficient liquid flow, or the like. The first output signal may also be used to calculate the rate of liquid flow through the pipe and to determine the status of the equipment producing and controlling the liquid flow.
