Method for monitoring a lubricant of a combustion engine, wherein measured numerical values are acquired with at least one sensor over a running time of a combustion engine, wherein the measured numerical values are representative of an oil quality of an engine oil of the combustion engine, wherein an oil sampling interval is adapted depending on at least one measured numerical value and/or a variable derived therefrom.

A method for analyzing a droplet fraction of an oil mist sample of a gas turbine is provided. A collecting device collects the oil mist sample, wherein the collecting device is arranged within a breather pipe which is coupled to the gas turbine such that oil mist is flowing through the breather pipe. The droplet fraction is separated from a gaseous fraction of the oil mist sample by a filter device, wherein the filter device is soaked with the droplet fraction, the droplet fraction is extracted from the filter device by using a tetrachloroethylene solvent. A composition of the droplet fraction is analyzed by a spectrometer.

An apparatus comprising: an identity determiner configured to determine an identity of a removable fluid container; a characteristic determiner configured to obtain a first characteristic based on testing the fluid of the fluid container; a data obtainer configured to obtain a second characteristic based on the identity; and a processor configured to control a fluid provider to provide fluid from the removable fluid container based on the comparison of the first characteristic and the second characteristic.

A fluid filtration system may include a fluid filter assembly that includes a filter element configured to filter a fluid and a sensor probe incorporated into the fluid filter assembly. The sensor probe may include a chemically reactive material sensitive to at least one property of the fluid and at least a portion of the sensor probe may be exposed to the fluid.

An analyzing arrangement for analyzing a composition of a fluid, such as oil mist of an engine, e.g. a gas turbine is provided. The analyzing arrangement includes a breather pipe coupleable to the gas turbine such that at least a part of the fluid is flowing through the breather pipe, a first collecting device for collecting a first sample of the fluid, wherein the first collecting device is configured for providing a first composition analysis of the first sample and a second collecting device for collecting a second sample of the fluid, wherein the second collecting device is configured for providing a second composition analysis of the second sample. The first collecting device and the second collecting device are arranged inside the breather pipe such that the first collecting device and the second collecting device are exposed to a common flow characteristic of the fluid inside the breather pipe.

A fluid filtration system may include a fluid filter assembly that includes a filter element configured to filter a fluid and a sensor probe incorporated into the fluid filter assembly. The sensor probe may include a chemically reactive material sensitive to at least one property of the fluid and at least a portion of the sensor probe may be exposed to the fluid.
