An apparatus and process for monitoring fluid flow through a nozzle is disclosed. A vibration sensor, such as an accelerometer, is mounted to a nozzle. The vibration output received from the sensor is then analyzed to determine whether or not the nozzle is operating properly. Through the present invention, information can be obtained regarding variations in flow rate, and/or variations in spray pattern and droplet size spectra. If the nozzle flow pulsates, the vibration sensor may also provide information regarding whether the nozzle is pulsating according to a desired frequency duty cycle or waveform.
L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour surveiller un écoulement de fluide traversant un ajutage. L'invention concerne un capteur de vibrations, notamment un accéléromètre, monté sur un ajutage. La sortie de vibrations reçue à partir du capteur est analysée pour déterminer si l'ajutage fonctionne correctement ou non. Grâce à l'invention, on peut obtenir des informations concernant des variations de débit, et/ou des variations dans le motif de pulvérisation, ainsi que des spectres de dimension de gouttelettes. Si l'écoulement d'ajutage est pulsé, le capteur de vibrations peut également fournir des informations permettant de déterminer si l'ajutage pulse, en fonction d'un cycle de travail ou d'une onde de forme de fréquence voulue.
