The Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) from RMF Systems puts you in control with
real-time monitoring of contamination and water ingress.
Expensive oil changes are now based on oil condition, not on historical
schedule.
The requirement to implement an effective monitoring and maintenance
programme for lubricants in critical plant machinery has never been
greater.
With the escalating price of crude oil and the vast improvements that are
being seen in the quality of lubricants available today, it is more important
than ever for organisations to ensure that they are maximising the service
life of the oil used.
Monitoring oil condition is clearly fundamental to understanding the
optimal time to change.
Change to early and the cost is significant !
Change too late and the costs can be even greater!
The sensor is a live , highly flexible and cost effective condition based monitoring solution, designed to be permanently mounted within any lubrication system on any type of machine.
Over 30 times more sensitive to oil contamination than any other dielectric constant measuring sensor, it provides real-time monitoring of wate ingress and oxidation levels.
Benefits
Reduced maintenance cost
Extended oil change intervals
Scheduled downtime intervals for increased productivity
Reduced waste oil cost
Improved equipment reliability
Low cost investment tool
Reduced carbon foot print
Reduces total cost of ownership
Key Facts
Environmental
Strict schedule based maintenance programmes have several downsides.
Environmental experts argue that the greatest of these is the preventablewaste. The Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) real-time monitoring sensor makes extending the oil service life effortless.
Market leading
The Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) is 30 times more sensitive to oil
contamination than any other dielectric constant measuring sensor.
Universal
Reliably measures contamination in all industrial equipments, including;
Diesel and petrol engines
Compressors
Industrial gear reducers
Wind turbines
Generator sets
Hydraulic systems
Robust
Resistant to high temperatures and pressures up to 10 bar
Intelligent The OQS measures the energy loss component of oil permittivity .
All contaminants such as metallic particles, soot, water, oxidization, glycol and particularly burnt fuel dilution increase this measured value.
