A system for harvesting energy from a lubrication event includes a fluid pump, a fluid injector, an energy harvesting device, a wireless transmitter, and a controller unit. The fluid injector receives fluid from the fluid pump. The fluid injector is connected to the energy harvesting device, which is configured to produce electrical energy in response to a firing of the fluid injector. Electrical energy produced by the energy harvesting device powers the wireless transmitter, which is configured to transmit a wireless signal. The wireless signal indicates that the fluid injector fired. The wireless signal is received by the controller unit, which controls the fluid pump.

An oil injection unit to provide motor oil to the motor of an electric submersible pump. The oil injection unit includes an injection module containing an amount of motor oil to be injected into the motor, a sensor to detect a predetermined condition that indicates the need to inject motor oil into the motor, and an injection valve that can be selectively opened to inject motor oil to the motor upon detection by the sensor of the predetermined condition.

A filtration monitoring system is an electronic system control module installed on an internal combustion engine or within a vehicle powered by the internal combustion engine. The filtration monitoring system monitors the health and status of the filtration systems present on the engine. The filtration monitoring system tracks filter loading patterns and predicts remaining service life of the filters by running smart algorithms based on sensor feedback (e.g., pressure sensor feedback, fluid quality characteristic sensor feedback, etc.). In some arrangements, the described filtration monitoring systems provide feedback as to whether a genuine (i.e., authorized, OEM approved, etc.) or unauthorized filter cartridge is installed in a given filtration system. The filtration monitoring system may be retrofit into an existing internal combustion engine or vehicle that does not already have a filtration monitoring system.

A fluid system includes an emergency subsystem and a main subsystem in fluid communication with a working element. The main subsystem is in fluid communication with the emergency subsystem. The system operates in a standard mode and an emergency mode. During standard mode, both the main and emergency subsystems jointly provide fluid to the working element. During emergency mode, the emergency subsystem is configured for independently providing fluid to the working element.

A lubrication system includes a progressive distributor and at least one pressure sensor. The progressive distributor includes a housing block having a lubricant inlet, a plurality of lubricant outlets, a plurality of piston bores fluidically connected to the lubricant inlet, each of the plurality of piston bores having a first outlet bore and a second outlet bore, and a metering piston in each of the plurality of piston bores. Each of the metering pistons is displaceable in a respective one of the plurality of outlet bores to uncover either the first outlet bore or the second outlet bore. The pressure sensor is disposed at an inlet of the progressive distributor upstream of the metering pistons with respect to a lubricant flow direction and configured to determine a lubricant pressure.

The invention relates to a lubricant dispenser comprising a storage container (1) filled with lubricant and a pump unit (2) which can be connected to or is releasably connected to the storage container and by means of which the lubricant can be pumped from the storage container (1) to an outlet (5) of the pump unit (2) and is equipped with an electronic controller (35). The lubricant dispenser is characterized in that the storage container (1) is equipped with an electronic coding means (36) which can be connected to the electronic controller (35) of the pump unit (2) and can be read by same so as to transmit information in the assembled state in order to identify the storage container (1).

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for implementing a system for providing a breather for a reservoir. The system includes a breather including a housing a dehumidifying element therein. The system further includes an operational sensor positioned within the housing, the operational sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a measured operational parameter of the breather, and an expansion pack coupleable to the housing, the expansion pack is configured to receive the sensor signal indicative of the measured operational parameter and to transmit at least one of the measured operational parameter or a representation thereof. The system includes a control unit communicatively coupleable to the expansion pack having a processor, a display unit, and a storage. The processor executes a control application configured to receive the at least one of the measured operational parameter or representation thereof.
