Fluid analysis and monitoring using optical spectroscopy

Systems, methods, and computer-program products for fluid analysis and monitoring are disclosed. Embodiments include a removable and replaceable sampling system and an analytical system connected to the sampling system. A fluid may be routed through the sampling system and data may be collected from the fluid via the sampling system. The sampling system may process and transmit the data to the analytical system. The analytical system may include a command and control system to receive and store the data in a database and compare the data to existing data for the fluid in the database to identify conditions in the fluid. Fluid conditions may be determined using machine learning models that are generated from well-characterized known training data. Predicted fluid conditions may then be used to automatically implement control processes for an operating machine containing the fluid.

CALIBRATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A LUBRICATION OIL METAL DEBRIS SENSOR
20200096431 · 2020-03-26 ·

A calibration method and system for a lubrication oil metal debris sensor includes applying an excitation to the lubrication oil metal debris sensor to be calibrated, obtaining a second output signal from the lubrication oil metal debris sensor to be calibrated based on a test metal ball with a known diameter, and determining a sensitivity characteristic parameter of the lubrication oil metal debris sensor to be calibrated according to the diameter of the test metal ball with the known diameter, the second output signal, and a preset data processing model. Large particulate metal balls with large diameter are used as calibration particles. The calibration performed by the combination of the particulate metal ball and the data processing model helps when the signal processing circuit cannot be matched with the actual performance of the sensor and avoids an underestimation of the monitoring capability of the lubrication oil metal debris sensor.
