Abstract

A monitoring technique is proposed and subjected to laboratory and full-scale tests. The energy of a vibration signal in an informative frequency range is found to depend on the gas flow rate and blowing (bubble, jet) conditions. An experimental version of the process control system is tested under industrial conditions.
