PROCESS FOR SENSING THE FLOODING OF A SURFACE

In the method for detecting the point of immersion or emergence of a solid or porous body into or out of a liquid, surface waves are generated in the liquid and the light coming from a light source and reflected on the surface of the liquid is scanned photoelectrically. Only the alternating light co...

Zusammenfassung:	In the method for detecting the point of immersion or emergence of a solid or porous body into or out of a liquid, surface waves are generated in the liquid and the light coming from a light source and reflected on the surface of the liquid is scanned photoelectrically. Only the alternating light component of the reflected light is detected here and the rectified alternating light signal is compared with a preset threshold value. When the actual value falls below or exceeds the threshold value, a control signal is then generated which can be utilized for control or regulating actions. For detecting the alternating light component, the photoelectric scanning signal is differentiated. Advantageously, scanning of the surface of the liquid is carried out at a plurality of points. The resulting rectified alternating light components can subsequently be added up, and the total value can be compared with the preset threshold value.
