  • Page 24: What Can The Product Do

    What can the product do? What can the product do? The FluidControl Unit FCU is a portable service unit for taking short-term measurements of the solid particle contamination, temperature und % saturation level in hydraulic systems. Knowledge on the level and amount of contamination allows you to check and document quality standards and introduce the required optimization measures.
  • Page 25: Counting Contaminant Particles

    What can the product do? Counting contaminant particles The measuring principle of the light blockade procedure is shown in simplified form in the following sketch. The light source transmits monochromatic light through the flow of oil to a photo detector, which produces a particular electrical signal. If a particle gets between the light source and the photo detector, then a shadow will be cast on the photo detector.
  • Page 26 What can the product do? Each of the signal peaks corresponds to the shadow cast by one particle. The signal height or amplitude reflects the particle size. Thresholds are used to classify the particle sizes >2, >5, >15, >25 µm or >4, >6, >14, >21 µm Time en(us) FCU1310...
  • Page 27: How The Product Works

    What can the product do? How the product works From the oil source (either a pressure port or a bottle sample), a continuous oil flow is established through the port (1) INLET by an electrically controlled gear pump (3). A suction strainer (2) protects the pump from coarse contamination. The oil current to be analyzed flows through an optical ContaminationSensor (6).
