Definitions
- the present invention is broadly concerned with improvements in analyzing the electrical properties of a working fluid, such as a lubricating oil- More particularly the invention is concerned with an on-line, real time, electrical measure of lubricating oil degradation.
- Working fluids such as lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids, are important components of a wide variety of mechanical systems in which they provide one or more functions such as lubricating moving parts, transferring force or energy on the mechanical system, protecting parts against wear or even a combination of these.
- These fluids typically consist of a hydrocarbon, base oil formulated with numerous additives selected to enhance one or more performance characteristics of the fluid.
- An object, therefore, of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting the depletion of performance additives in a lubricant.
- Another object is to provide an electrical measurement method for determining the condition of low conductivity industrial oil.
- Still another object is to provide for improving the sensitivity in the electrical measurement for determining the condition of working fluids.
- the present invention employs alternating current (AC) electro-impedance spectroscopy to determine for working fluids such as lubricants, and especially industrial oils, one or more of the following properties: the resistance, the capacitance, the frequency at which the phase angle between the voltage and current is 45 degrees (Omega max), the time constant, and discrete impedance values; and comparing the determined property with a predetermined value for the same property for a known fluid condition to determine the condition of the working fluid.
- the property determined is measured at a temperature above about 50°C.
- Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a measuring device for collecting impedance data according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a system for monitoring the condition of a working fluid according to the invention.
- Figures 3 and 4 demonstrate the ability to generate Nyquist curves for low conductivity oils at temperatures above 50°C.
- AC (alternating current) electro-impedance spectroscopy is a well known technique. It involves the imposition of AC signals over a broad range of frequencies to a material to be analyzed. The electrical response to those signals is determined and by the application of electrical circuit theory a description of the properties of the material is obtained.
- the present invention employs AC electro-impedance spectroscopy to determine the conditions of a working fluid. Indeed the present invention is particularly applicable to determining the conditions of low conductivity oils.
- the low conductivity oils to which the present invention is particularly applicable are those unused oils that have a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of greater than 15 cSt and containing less than about 3 wt% (active basis) of additives selected from dispersants, antioxidants, detergents, VI improvers and antiwear agents.
- an important aspect of the present invention is the provision of an AC electro-impedance spectroscopic method for determining the condition of industrial oils, especially on-line, i.e., when contained in mechanical systems, even when the systems are operating.
- a pair of spaced apart electrodes such as the concentric, cylindrical electrodes 1 and 2 shown in Figure 1, are placed in a body of working fluid to be analyzed.
- the working fluid is within a mechanical system, for example in an oil reservoir or sump of a mechanical system (not shown), in an oil delivery manifold, or bypass manifold of a mechanical system (also not shown) requiring lubrication or use of a working fluid.
- the dimensions of the electrode will depend on its positioning with the mechanical system and the nature of the working fluid being analyzed.
- the length of the electrodes shown in Figure 1 typically will be in the range of between about 0.5 cm to about 20 cm, the diameter of the outer electrode between about 0.5 cm to about 4 cm and the gap between the inner and outer electrode between about 0.1 to 10 mm.
- Other geometries for the electrodes may be employed, such as flat parallel plates, flat interdigitated electrodes etched on an inert substrate and the like.
- Electrodes in a working fluid contained in a mechanical system permits on-line, real time, analysis of the fluid, i.e., the condition of the fluid can be measured continuously while employed in the mechanical system without the need to remove a sample of the fluid from the system for analysis.
- An AC signal is applied to one electrode at a plurality of frequencies, typically at more than three frequencies, for example from 4 to 1000 frequencies and preferably from 4 to 20 in the range of from 1 Hz to 3M Hz.
- the applied signal produces an electrical output at the other electrode which is measured.
- a device for applying the signal and measuring the output i.e., a frequency response analyzer (FRA) is shown diagrammatically in Figure 1 by reference numeral 3.
- FFA frequency response analyzer
- Such frequency response analyzers are commercially available devices and are used to acquire frequency dependent impedance data.
- Another fluid impedance monitor is shown schematically in Figure 2 where 1 and 2 represent concentric electrodes immersed in an oil 4.
- a digital function generator 5 generates a predetermined discrete sequence of signals and a digital- to-analog converter 6 converts the sequence to an analog sinusoidal voltage of small amplitude, Vn, and frequency, ⁇ , and applies the voltage to the outer electrode 2.
- the applied signal produces an electrical charge on the inner electrode 1.
- a charge amplifier 7 converts the charge into a sinusoidal voltage, Vout, at the same frequency, ⁇ .
- the time-based waveforms of both input and output voltages are converted by an analog-to-digital converter 8 and the resulting data is acquired and processed by data processor 9.
- a digital frequency response analyzer is used to obtain the complex transfer function of the output voltage with respect to the input voltage, i.e., the ratio of the complex amplitude of the sinusoidal output voltage to that of the sinusoidal input voltage.
- This complex transfer function is equal to the ratio of the feedback impedance of the charge amplifier 7 to the impedance of the working fluid to be analyzed. Dividing the transfer function • by the known amplifier feedback impedance, the admittance of the working fluid is obtained. The reciprocal of the admittance is equal to the impedance of the working fluid.
- the frequency dependent impedance or admittance data obtained as described herein is used to determine one or more of the resistance, the capacitance, the frequency at which the phase angle between the voltage and current is 45° (Omega max), the time constant of the working fluid.
- the Nyquist plot impedance data is further analyzed by fitting the data to a least-squares best fit curve.
- a curve can be fit using many standard data analysis packages.
- the resistance of the oil/electrode system can then be calculated by determining the diameter of the curve along the x axis.
- the frequency at which ⁇ reaches 45 degrees is known as Omega max.
- the reciprocal of Omega max is the time constant, RC.
- frequency dependent impedance data are measured for more than 4 values of ⁇ spanning a range of at least 45 degrees and a partial Nyquist curve is constructed from that data. This portion of the curve can then be analyzed with a standard least squares fitting program by assuming that the Nyquist plot follows an elliptical curve. The entire Nyquist curve can then be constructed by extrapolating to ⁇ values of zero and 180 degrees. At the same time values for capacitance, resistance and Omega max can also be determined.
- At least one of the resistance, capacitance, Omega max, time constant and impedance values obtained for the working fluid is then compared to a predetermined value to determine the condition of the fluid being analyzed or monitored.
- the AC elecro-impedance measurements made on low conductivity industrial oils are made at a temperature above about 50°C and more preferably above about 65°C and up to about 150°C.
- the on-line, real time, impedance measurements taken and used to calculate at least one of the resistance, capacitance, Omega max, time constant and discrete impedance values of a working fluid and compared to a predetermined similar value or values as the case may be, is used to provide a visual display such as an indication of the remaining useful life of the fluid.
- a visual or other signal such as a bell or alarm may be provided when the fluid condition reaches a predetermined state requiring changing of the fluid before continuing operating the mechamcal system. This is shown in Figure 2 as result display or signal module 10.
- a used sample of a commercial paper machine oil was subjected to AC electroimpedence measurement at 70°C, 90°C and 120°C using a Solartron 1260 frequency response analyzer (FRA), an AC amplitude of 1 volt and a DC offset of 5 volts. Frequency was scanned from 10 Hz to 3.2 MHz. Figure 3 shows the Nyquist curves generated from the data.
- FFA frequency response analyzer
- Example 1 Following the procedure of Example 1 a fresh sample of the same commercial paper machine oil of Example 1 was measured at room temperature (about 25°C) and at 120°C. Figure 4 shows that a Nyqist curve could not be generated when the measurement was made at room temperature.
