Oil Condition Monitoring in the News

The reason for the interest? In the wind power business and other oil critical applications, asset protection and low downtimes are key to profitability. Predictive maintenance clearly has benefits over rigid inspection and maintenance intervals. WearSens® from cmc Instruments GmbH (Germany) is a unique, new oil condition monitor, online and continuous. WearSens is highly sensitive, showing changes in oil prior to additive consumption and before damage occurs.

Papers are being presented around the world: MMM 2013, August 2013, San Diego, USA; Baltic Wind Power 2013, September 2013, Stockholm, Sweden; Wind Power LATAM, October 2013, Mexico City, Mexico; International Conference on Gears, October 2013, Munich, Germany.

cmc Instruments believe that WearSens is set to become the new standard for continuous monitoring of oil quality not only in wind turbines but many other oil critical applications. One of the patented features is the temperature compensation. Readings are fully temperature compensated for accurate comparison of data over long periods of time.

WearSens is easy to install or retro-fit. The decentralised, web based monitoring system makes results available anywhere in the world.

cmc Instruments GmbH manufacture trace moisture analysers, gas generators, filter systems for process gases and the new OilQSens and WearSens - patented, online system for oil condition monitoring in different applications.
