Abstract: Systems and method determine a fluid efficiency of a fluid that flows through a fluid power system. Characteristics of the fluid is monitored in real-time as the fluid flows through the fluid monitoring device that is coupled to the fluid power system as the fluid flows through the fluid power system. A fluid status is determined in real-time that is associated with fluid parameters of the fluid that is determined from the fluid parameters detected by the fluid monitoring device. The fluid status of the fluid is determined in real-time when the fluid status indicates that a corrective action is to be executed to increase a quality of the fluid and an assessment of the corrective action that is to be executed is generated based on the fluid parameters. Degradation of the components of the fluid power system increases without the corrective action being executed to the fluid.

Abstract: Systems and methods determine a fluid efficiency of a fluid that flows through a fluid power system. A magnetic flux gradient generated by a magnetic fluid filter positioned on a flow path as the fluid flows through the magnetic fluid filter is monitored in real-time by a fluid monitoring device that is coupled to the fluid power system. A fluid status is determined in real-time that is associated with the magnetic flux gradient from fluid parameters associated with the magnetic flus gradient as detected by the fluid monitoring device. The fluid status of the fluid is determined in real-time that indicates that a corrective action is to be executed to increase a quality of the fluid based on the fluid parameters detected by the fluid monitoring device. The degradation to components of the fluid power system increases without the corrective action being executed to increase the quality of the fluid.

Abstract: Systems and methods determine a filter efficiency of a fluid filter. A characteristic of fluid flow of a fluid is monitored at a first point and at a second point on a flow path of a fluid filter. A particle absorption level of the fluid filter is determined that is a difference in the characteristic of the fluid flow at the first point and the second point. The particle absorption level of the fluid filter is at a particle absorption saturation level based on the difference in the characteristic of the fluid flow at the first point and the second point. The particle absorption saturation level is an indicator that the particles retained by the fluid filter is decreased and replacement of the fluid filter is required to increase the particles retained by the fluid filter to be above the particle absorption saturation level.

Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring a condition of a pump. One or more characteristics of a fluid flow of a fluid is monitored in a flow path of the pump to determine a fluid leakage flow rate. The fluid leakage flow rate is compared to a nominal flow rate for the pump. The pump efficiency for the pump is determined based on the comparison of the fluid leakage flow rate to the nominal flow rate. The pump efficiency is compared to a pump efficiency threshold and the condition of the pump determined based on the comparison.

Abstract: A working fluid filtration and separation system that removes contaminants from a working fluid of a working machine. The system includes a vessel and an electrostatic collector mounted within the vessel which electrostatically removes contaminants from contaminated working fluid as it passes through the electrostatic collector element. The electrostatic collector element includes a plurality of concentric electrodes of different radii, a plurality of corrugated walls residing in spaces located between adjacent electrodes. An elongated center post electrode is provided that induces a voltage in at least one of the plurality of concentric electrodes. The system is configured to generate a voltage difference between each pair of adjacent concentric electrodes to electrostatically remove contaminants from the working fluid as it flows through the filtration and separation system. The system further includes a center post isolator that is configured to mount the center post isolator within the vessel and electrically insulate the center post electrode from the vessel.
