Above: The ANALEXrs Moisture Sensor

Providing a % Relative Humidity (RH) and temperature values, now you can monitor your oil, real-time.

Sensors provide 'real-time' monitoring of machinery lubricating oil, preventing the need for expensive routine maintenance.

ANALEXrs equipment can be fitted on any machine with a circulating lubrication system, and where either ferrous or non ferrous wear debris is a predominant measure of the wear rate. Alternatively, use the ANALEXrs range on a filter cartridge to assess condition of splash lubricated machines.

Examples include equipment such as:

Engines
Gearboxes & Transmissions
Bearings
Pumps
Compressors
Turbines

ANALEXrs Moisture Sensor

Water ingress costs you more than you think!
Without a doubt, you’re running a high quality maintenance programme.You feel confident you have it all under control. That critical plant is in safe hands. Operating schedules are going to be met. Or are they? What if the plant stops because of failure of that critical machine?

What about the repair costs, the downtime, the loss of revenue? Never mind the added risk to personnel health and safety, or the environment.

You probably already know that free and emulsified water cause problems. But, did you know that water can increase the oxidation rate of your lubricant by more than ten times? That’s why your oil analysis service includes a water-screening test.

But were you aware that bearings could lose 75% of their potential service life due to water before the oil even begins to start to look cloudy? Even in its dissolved state the water is at work, attacking the base stock, the additive package, and the machine. And, water can carry organisms with it that could disable your critical hydraulic systems.

But how frequently are you sampling? What if a problem arises between scheduled samples?

Wouldn’t it make sense to be monitoring more frequently?

Well now you can. The ANALEXrs Moisture range of online sensors puts your oil analysis laboratory on your doorstep.

The ANALEXrs Moisture Sensor goes beyond the normal water screening tests to tell you exactly how dry your oil is. Providing a % Relative Humidity (RH) and temperature values, now you can monitor real-time. You can ensure that your oil is always below the saturation point before free and emulsified water starts to form. And take immediate action on the first indication of change. The ANALEXrs Moisture Sensor goes beyond the normal protection systems; it monitors the root cause of lubricant and machine failure.

The ANALEXrs Moisture Sensor can be mounted within any lubrication system on any type of machine. The sensor measures the oils percentage Relative Humidity, resulting from the dissolved water within the lubricant, using a combination of proven thin film capacitance sensors, combined with smart algorithms to provide a temperature and % RH value. ANALEXrs puts you in control. You know that the more severe the moisture ingression problem, the greater the potential risk.

Using internal processing power the self diagnostic sensor does not require handheld units to analyse or display results. It can be easily integrated into your existing Condition Monitoring and operating control systems, and results can be reported using standard displays or any PC. Whether it’s to check on the health of the machine, or an alert of changing moisture ingression rates, the ANALEXrs Moisture Sensor provides instant information, complementing your existing laboratory oil analysis programme, and helping you make informed maintenance planning decisions.
