Abstract

Apparatus (10) and methods are disclosed for acoustically detecting different conditions of boiling occurring within a liquid (16) and developing useful control signals (18, 50, 52) correlated to the detected boiling condition. Distinctions are made between no-boiling, subcooled boiling, and full or rolling boiling conditions (Figure 2).
