Abstract

Det er tilveiebrakt en anordning for bestemmelse av en egenskap til et fluid (102) med CO2 som strømmer i et rør (104) og innbefatter minst én første føleinnretning forbundet med røret, slik at den minst ene første føleinnretningen føler en lavfrekvenskomponent av strømningen av fluidet med C02 og genererer første sensordata responsive til lavfrekvenskomponenten til fluidet med C02. Minst én andre føleinnretning er også innbefattet og er forbundet med røret slik at den minst ene andre føleinnretningen føler en høyfrekvenskomponent av strømningen av fluid med C02 og genererer andre sensordata responsive til høyfrekvenskomponenten av fluidet med C02. Videre er det innbefattet en prosesseringsinnretning og den er i kommunikasjon med minst én første føleinnretning og den minst ene andre føleinnretningen for å motta og prosessere første sensordata og andre sensordata for å generere fluiddata.
