Monitoring Fluid System Debris Via Diagnostic Filters

Abstract

The utility of the filter element as a diagnostic tool to augment existing diagnostic techniques for monitoring fluid system debris is discussed. Two specific ways of utilizing the filter element for the above purpose are presented: 1) The incorporation of a removable(pull-out) diagnostic layer of porous medium, in conjunction with the regular filter element medium pack, allowing for on-site inspection of the collected debris and hence, delineation of 'abnormal' fluid system component wear and/or impending component failure. The above can assist operators in preventive maintenance and
