Abstract
An optical sensor is arranged in an indentation of a dust line, the indentation being equipped with at least one gas inlet nozzle for removing the dust from the optical sensor. Dust is transported through the dust line. An optical property of the dust is measured using at least one optical sensor arranged in an indentation of the dust line, and the dust is then removed from the optical sensor by blowing in air using the at least one gas inlet nozzle arranged in the indentation.
