Abstract:
1. A device having a first module arranged in relation to a process line for providing a first signal containing information about sensed entrained air/gas in a fluid or process mixture flowing in the process line at a process line pressure, the device comprising: a bleed line coupled to the process line for bleeding a portion of the fluid or process mixture from the process line at a bleed line pressure that is lower than the process pressure; a second module arranged in relation to the bleed line, for providing a second signal containing information about sensed bleed line entrained air/gas in the fluid or process mixture flowing in the bleed line; and a third module responsive to the first signal and the second signal, for providing a third signal containing information about a dissolved air/gas flowing in the process line based on a difference between the sensed entrained air/gas and the sensed bleed line entrained air/gas.
