SYSTEMS FOR IN SITU MONITORING OF WORKING FLUIDS AND WORKING FLUID SYSTEMS

A working fluid monitoring system for monitoring a working fluid of working fluid system of a piece of equipment is provided. The working fluid monitoring system can include a filter member having an inlet, an outlet, and a filter media disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The filter member can be configured to permit fluid communication of the working fluid of the working fluid system from the inlet, through the filter media, and out the outlet of the filter member. A sensor is in operable communication with the working fluid within the filter member and is configured to monitor in situ a parameter of the working fluid and/or the working fluid system.

Oil quality monitoring

To monitor oil quality of an automotive vehicle, a sensor generates a signal indicative of a characteristic of the oil. A processor is configured to determine the oil quality from the signal. A communication component transmits an indication of whether the determined oil quality meets an unacceptability criterion to an external device.
