A method of detecting particles in a two-phase stream is disclosed, as well as a vacuum cleaner and a process for controlling or adjusting a vacuum cleaner. The detection of particles, in particular dust particles, in a two-phase stream currently relies on optical detection methods. These optical methods are prone to problems and their resolution is low. With the proposed method, a piezoelectric sensor is used to determine the location and size of the particles. A charge signal generated by the piezoelectric sensor is used to represent the particles detected or for controlling or adjusting the suction power of a vacuum cleaner. |
