Oil Condition Monitoring is recognised as one of the most useful tools for predicting and thus preventing catastrophic failure of expensive capital plant and machinery.
Machinery Oil Condition Monitoring Applications
Wear debris monitoring and analysis can be employed across a wide variety of industries and equipment. Applications include the following:
On-line Condition Monitoring
Kittiwake have developed a range of innovative and practical on-line sensors for wear metal debris and oil condition detection and monitoring. The ANALEXrs range is designed to provide plant engineers and maintenance managers with real time, continuously monitored testing and analysis data for critical plant and equipment.
Suitable for use with slow, medium and high speed diesel engines, gas turbines, gearboxes, compressors, generators, vehicles and other oil filled plant, these sensors help to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve profitability.
Off Line Condition Monitoring & Ferrous Debris Monitors
Analex Ferrous Debris Monitors are constructed using sophisticated dual-coil magnetometers for greater measurement accuracy and sensitivity of lubricating oils, hydraulic oils and greases.
When no sample is present, the sample coil (sensor) and the reference coil are in balance. Both coils are designed to maintain this balance in conjunction with changes in the ambient temperature.
A sample of oil containing ferromagnetic particles is placed upon the sensor, thus altering the balance between the coils. The resulting 'out-of-balance' signal is amplified, filtered and displayed as a PQ Index, which relates directly to the mass of the ferromagnetic debris in the sample.
