FluidScan: portable maintenance monitor

[:en]The FluidScan is a portable maintenance monitor, based on the condition of the lubricant that protects machinery by determining when a lubricant needs to be changed due to contamination or excessive degradation.

Their detection capabilities can determine lubricant contamination, degradation, and cross-contamination at the point of use, measuring key parameters of oil condition, both in petroleum-based and synthetic fluids and lubricants. The FluidScan uses an innovative patent-pending tilting head cell to introduce and analyze samples.

It analyzes fluids using infrared spectrometry, a technique that has found wide acceptance as a primary test for the determination of lubricant contamination and degradation. It performs analysis with a precision similar to that of laboratory equipment (but does it in-situ on a handheld portable device). The FluidScan provides immediate on-site analysis of critical properties, allowing the user to extend oil change intervals, reduce operating and maintenance costs, reduce unscheduled maintenance interruptions and, in doing so, help prevent catastrophic oil failures. equipment.

Application

The portable Lubricant Condition Monitor, FluidScan, is applicable to any large mechanical system where unexpected interruptions are unacceptable. Ideal applications are:

-Motors

-Gas turbines

-Wind turbines

-Transmissions

-Biodiesel quality control

-Hydraulic systems

-Steam turbines

-gears

-Compressors[:]
