Condition Monitoring from ETL

Overview

Understanding the condition of hydraulic oil in today’s modern applications will give system operatives and maintenance engineers, accurate and early knowledge when a systems condition has reached an undesirable cleanliness level long before unexpected, unplanned and often catastrophic failure occurs.

In today’s demanding industrial world, modern high performance machinery depends on hydraulic oil being at a particular cleanliness level.  Oil is the life blood of every hydraulic application and if not closely monitored can spread contamination to every critical working component. Contamination (Dirt or Water) ingress will always result in unfavourable working environments which in turn will prevent an application operating at its peak performance.  The result, unexpected system failure often when demand on production is at its peak.

Applying simple condition monitoring methods will always gain any operative the advantage of knowing how clean the hydraulic oil is, when oil filters require replacing or an early warning when a catastrophic and damaging event is about to occur.  Catastrophic events can be the result of heat exchanger failure, gradual or sudden component breakdown or introduction of high contaminant from an outside source (Oil level top up using new but dirty oil).Looking after any applications blood (Oil) will always lead to greatly extended component life, longer operating hours ‘uptime’ and greatly reduced failures ‘downtime’. 

Maintaining the right cleanliness levels will keep your production or system operating efficiently.
