Abstract: There is provided an apparatus (20), for determining a dryness level of steam from a steam source (22), comprising: a flow measurement device (24) for measuring a flow of the steam from the steam source (22); a condenser (26) for producing condensate from the steam from the steam source (22); and a condensate sensing device (30) configured to: measure a collection value of condensate produced from the steam from the steam source (22); obtain a mass flow rate from the measured flow of the steam from the steam source (22); use the obtained mass flow rate to determine an expected collection value of condensate produced from steam of a known dryness level, or use the obtained mass flow rate to determine an expected collection value of steam from the steam source based on a known dryness level; determine a dryness level of the steam from the steam source (22) by comparing the measured collection value and the expected collection value.
