Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing an indication of the composition of an examined fluid by using an electrical resistor, particularly a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, for measuring the thermal conductivity of the examined fluid with the known thermal conductivity of different fluid compositions. The method and apparatus are particularly described for indicating the relative proportions of a working fluid in the liquid and vapor phases in one or more stages of a heat pump. Another described application is for indicating the liquid level in a liquid vaporizer.
