'Air-X', the reference in the automotive industry for on-line measurement of lubricant aeration

Lubricant aeration can cause severe problems such as cavitation, loss of lubricity, loss of cooling, etc. Delta Services Industriels has recently developed a new tool for monitoring aeration (gas content) in running engines and gearboxes.  The device is compact, easy to calibrate, and it is particularly convenient for testing engines, lubricants and additives

Air-X is able to sample and evaluate oil from atmospheric or pressurized lines in an operating hydraulic system.  The volume sampled by the instrument is less than 0,5 liter for a minimal impact on the operating mechanical system. On fired engines, oil is typically sampled from the sump, at a location close to the input of the oil pump.  Oil can also be sampled directly from the gallery by using a precision valve that limits the pressure drop to an acceptable value. The system includes temperature and pressure probes so that the air content is computed and displayed at standard conditions (i.e. T = 20°C and P = 1 bar). The sampling unit also includes an internal oil pump with variable, regulated flow control.  All operating parameters are selected from a remote user’s interface (PC).  For downloading the commercial brochure of Air-X, click here
