METHOD FOR EVALUATING ACOUSTIC SENSOR DATA IN A FLUID CARRYING NETWORK AND EVALUATION UNIT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating a fluid carrying network, comprising the steps of:
- providing a numerical network model, which at least partly represents an acoustic property of the fluid carrying network;
receiving sensor data of at least one acoustic sensor placed on the fluid carrying network;
calculating model data by using the numerical network model, the model data being determined by using data representing an acoustic discontinuity in the fluid carrying network, in particular at least one of;
a node, a bend, a change of material, a change of a wall thickness, and a change of a diameter; and
evaluating the received sensor data by considering the model data.

19. An evaluation unit for a fluid carrying network, comprising:
-
a data interface for receiving sensor data; and a data processing unit for providing output data to an output unit, the output data being dependent on the received sensor data, wherein the evaluation unit is configured to use a numerical network model for providing model data and to determine the output data with an additional dependency on this model data.
