Abstract

Bei einem Verfahren zur Überwachung der Funktionsfähigkeit einer Flüssigkeitsfördervorrichtung, wie einem Dispenser (10) wird ein Antwortsignal eines Flüssigkeit-Wandler-Systems, das aus einem Wandler (24) und einer Flüssigkeit enthaltenden Kammer (12) besteht, mit einem Referenzwert verglichen. Der Referenzwert wird vorzugsweise bei funktionsfähigem, d. h. ungestörtem Flüssigkeit-Wandler-System bestimmt. Das Antwortsignal unterscheidet sich von dem Referenzwert, wenn sich beispielsweise in der Kammer (12) Luftblasen befinden. Durch einen Vergleich des Antwortsignals mit dem Referenzwert kann bei Über- oder Unterschreiten eines Grenzwertes ein Korrekturschritt, wie beispielsweise ein Reinigungszyklus durchgeführt werden.
