An On-line Fluid Property Analyzer Reduces World Demand for Oil and Improves Operating Profits

Conservative oil drain intervals protect the performance and health of engines, transmissions, hydraulic fluid systems, gear boxes and other lubricated operating equipment. Yet, the world demand and dramatic price increase of oil are stressing maintenance budgets and eroding the operating profits of vehicle and equipment owners. To reduce demand, while still protecting machinery and improving operating profits, we must make smarter use of the world?s limited oil supply. Drain intervals should, and can be safely extended with an effective on-line, real-time fluid property sensor. Condition based drain intervals not only reduce oil consumption and maintenance costs, but provide incremental vehicle and equipment protection through the immediate detection of contaminants infiltrating lubricants and oils. On-line sensor performance must be comprehensive to achieve this goal.
