Oil Condition Sensor

Engine oils play a key role in keeping engines running efficiently throughout their life, so it’s important to keep an eye on the condition of those lubricants. While scheduled oil maintenance programs have traditionally been used, much can happen between those periodic checks that can lead to inefficient equipment operation or expensive repairs. By monitoring and evaluating ongoing engine oil condition using real-time data, engine operation can be optimized.

A new oil condition sensor does just that – measuring actual lubricant properties that affect performance and then uses a lubricant-based algorithm to estimate the lubricant’s remaining useful life. This oil condition sensor is the only system available today that monitors for all major lubricant degradation modes and provides opportunities for savings and peace of mind from avoidable catastrophic engine failure.

The oil condition sensor monitors:

• Contaminants
• Contaminant control functionality
• Surface protection functionality
• Incident detection

- Coolant/water contamination
- Fuel dilution

The oil condition sensor outputs:

• Remain Useful Life (RUL) of the lubricant
• Lubricant temperature
• Incident detection

The oil condition sensor benefits:

• Optimized lab oil analysis programs
• Improve operational efficiencies
• Insurance policy - 24/7 monitoring
• Optimized Oil Drain Interval (ODI)
