Alternative Fuels Compatibility with Army Equipment Testing - In-Line Monitoring
Abstract
Inline and online electronic sensors were evaluated using the basic principles of EI 1598 for evaluation of electronic sensors. Particle counters and photometers/turbidimeters were evaluated using various test dusts, at various concentrations, water at various concentrations, and a combination of dirt and water. The particle counting technology provides the best particulate fuel cleanliness information and can infer if water is out of specification. The photometers/turbidimeters can detect water, but are poor quantifying solid contamination.
