Abstract
The necessity of a proper sensor to analyse the properties of fluids (lubricating oil in particular) is a reality. The use of intelligent sensors for online lubricating oil analysis will permit in a short period of time the optimisation of its life, cost reduction and the detection of problems in lubricated machinery. The various sensor techniques described here are important in analysing and detecting different lubrication features. Four types of lube sensors are focused in the lubrication system: fibre optic laser absorption and scatter sensors for solid contaminants, optical particle detectors for wear particles, water sensors for water detection in oil and oxidation sensors for oil degradation detection.
