Air-X Compact

Air-X has been designed for on-line monitoring of oil aeration in a running mechanical system (engine, oil pump, gear box, hydraulic circuit, etc.). The operating principle is based on an accurate density measurement using X-ray transmission combined to X-ray spectrometry analysis. An oil sample coming from the mechanical system is circulated continuously into a measuring chamber where the density measurement is performed.

Particularly suitable for stationary dyno, tilt rig, on-board and dry sump applications, it is a lightweight and ruggedized compact measuring chamber to be fitted close to the mechanical system. The electronics is deported to reduce the size at its best. It does not have an internal pump to circulate the lubricant so the unit has to be connected adequately to create a lubricant flow within the chamber.

 

 

User's Interface

All measurement data (oil temperature, oil pressure and gas content) are recorded and can be visualized on a graphic during operation of Air-X. A dedicated routine is also provided, which allows converting the results to a .csv format.
