Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for eliminating the presence of droplets in a first medium of a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has an inlet port and an outlet port for the first medium as well as an inlet port and an outlet port for a second medium. The system comprises (a) a device for regulating the flow of the first medium into the heat exchanger, (b) a first temperature sensor array for measuring the temperature of the first medium exiting the heat exchanger, and (c) a controller for regulating flow of the first medium into the heat exchanger. The system further comprises a second temperature sensor array for measuring the temperature of the second medium entering the heat exchanger. The controller regulates the flow of the first medium into the heat exchanger based on data received from the first temperature sensor array and second temperature sensor array.
