PODS - Oil Analysis for Controlled Purity of Hydraulic Fluids
Recognizing a problem means defining a standard for eliminating that
problem. A new standard for comprehensive oil contamination level
diagnostics is defined by PODS, the Portable Oil Diagnostic System designed
for field monitoring of hydraulic systems. PODS is the first system in its
class with NIST test dust calibration according to the new ISO 11171
standard.
The most important component of a hydraulic system is the hydraulic fluid
used to operate the system. Trouble-free operation is only guaranteed if the
fluid is in proper condition. It is therefore necessary to check both the
condition and the composition of the hydraulic fluid over and over again.
PODS measures the particle concentration in the hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil is contaminated by particles entering from the outside, by
component wear debris, or by aging of the oil. Excessive particle
contamination of the oil results in seized valves, broken pumps, and worn
seals. PODS detects concentrations of up to 90,000 p/ml (ISO code <24), even
on-line at operating pressures up to 420 bar. PODS returns an accurate oil
diagnosis within a minute. Based on this information, it is possible to take
action appropriately, i.e. change the oil or initiate other measures.
PODS measures the viscosity
Changes in oil viscosity can also affect the performance and the
durability of hydraulic components. by means of a built-in sensor, PODS
detects changes in oil viscosity caused by oxidation, reaction with water or
metal ions, or degradation of additives.
PODS measures the temperature
PODS enables field measurement on working machines by recording
contamination levels under operating conditions at operating temperature.
High oil temperatures can be caused by seized pump controllers or clogged
water separators, with a resulting increase in the number of particles. Both
high oil temperature and high concentration of articles in a particular size
range can also be an indication of free water. For this reason, PODS also
measures the oil temperature with a built-in sensor.
Additional functions
Measured results are stored by PODS for subsequent evaluation and
printing. For this purpose, PODS can be connected to a computer. Using the
PODSWARE software, it is possible to convert the data into the Excel format
for evaluation. PODS also supports detailed analyses of the condition of the
hydraulic oil, both in the field and in the lab. Preventive maintenance can
then be specified appropriately in order to avoid machine down times.
