Abstract
A system for a virtual liquid sensor is disclosed including a method for operating the liquid sensor. The method includes determining a rate of generating condensation with respect to the component. The method also includes determining a rate of purging condensation with respect to the component. The method further includes determining an amount of accumulated condensation with respect to the component as a function of the rate of generating condensation and the rate of purging condensation over a given period of time.
