Abstract:
A method and device (1) for estimating a density value ρ m indicative of a true density ρ or for estimating a viscosity value η m indicative of a true viscosity η of a fluid (F) is disclosed. For this, a first resonance frequency f R of a first mechanical oscillator (10) in a reference volume (RV) and a second resonance frequency f F of a second mechanical oscillator (20) in contact with the fluid (F) are measured. The estimated value ρ m or η m is then derived using these resonance frequencies f R and f F . During this derivation, at least one fluid-temperature- or fluid-pressure-dependent parameter of the fluid (F) is used. Additionally or alternatively, the first (i.e. reference) mechanical oscillator is arranged in contact with a reference fluid (R). Thus, fundamental errors in the derivation of the estimated value ρ m or η m are reduced and the estimated value becomes more reliable.

A method and device for operating a fluid- insulated electrical apparatus (1) are disclosed. The insulation fluid (10) of the electrical apparatus (1) comprises at least two fluid components (A, B) which are a priori ingredients of the insulation fluid (10).

Using this measurement or these measurements or at least one additional measurement on the insulation fluid (10), a first concentration (c A ) of the first fluid component (A) and a second concentration (c B ) of the second fluid component (B) are derived. Then, using the first concentration (c A ) and the second concentration (c B ), and, advantageously, a dielectric breakdown strength of the insulation fluid (10), an operating state (O) of the electrical apparatus (1) is derived.
