Abstract: Conditions in a fluidized bed are measured with a probe and a circuit. The bed can be a polymerization reactor's reaction chamber, and the conditions can result in "sheeting" which is the build up of polymer on the chamber walls. The probe protrudes into the bed and detects a current which generally is a function of at least the impact and charge of particulates in the bed. The current detected by the probe is related to the conditions in the bed. The circuit measures the detected current. The probe has an inner probe piece of metallic material within an insulator of polymeric material. A portion of the insulator protrudes a first distance into the bed, and a portion of the inner probe piece protrudes a second distance into the bed. The first distance is less than or equal to the second distance. The insulator typically does not extend as far into the bed as the inner probe piece.

Abstract: An improved invasive acoustic sensor apparatus detects particulate matter in a flow by impingement thereon. The apparatus includes an axially extending probe body having an active length positionable in a flow and a distributed piezoelectric transducer disposed therein. The transducer is acoustically coupled to an interior surface of the body, along substantially the entire active length thereof, and may be a piezoelectric film, piezoelectric tube, or a plurality of electrically parallel connected piezoelectric tube elements. The apparatus further includes an acoustic isolation layer disposed between the probe body and positioning structure to reduce transmission of process wall vibration to the transducer.
