On-line Fluid/Oil Monitoring
Impact Technologies has developed a fully integrated in-line/online fluid quality sensing technology for use in monitoring a wide variety of lubrication and hydraulic systems. The fluid quality sensor autonomously monitors overall oil fluid health using multiple sensing technologies that combine to provide strong diagnostic abilities. The patented backbone sensing technology uses broadband AC impedance measurements to determine changes in the fluid’s
electrochemical properties.
This technology has been applied to a number of applications, with different contaminants and degradation modes:
A number of real-time off-board communication methods (including serial, analog, digital, Modbus and CAN) have been implemented for different customers.
