    Abstract: A method of controlling a demulsifier dosage to an AC/DC modulated coalescer is described. The method includes monitoring a characteristic of an electric current drawn by an electrical component of the AC/DC modulated coalescer, determining if the characteristic of the electric current lies outside a predetermined stable range, and increasing the demulsifier dosage if the characteristic of the electric current lies outside the predetermined stable range. A system for controlling a demulsifier dosage to an AC/DC modulated coalescer with an adjustable dosing mixing valve is also described. The system includes a current sensor arranged to monitor an electric current drawn by an electrical component of the AC/DC modulated coalescer, and a processor configured to determine if a characteristic of the electric current lies outside a predetermined stable range. Furthermore, the system is configured to increase the demulsifier dosage if the characteristic of the electric current lies outside the predetermined stable range.

    Abstract: A method of supplying a processing solution includes shutting off a feed line supplying the processing solution to a chemical filter, installing a dry chemical filter in a filter housing of the chemical filter, closing an output line from the filter housing to a nozzle configured to dispense the processing solution (either before or after installing the dry chemical filter), applying a vacuum to the filter housing while the feed line remains shut, and opening the feed line while locking in the vacuum within the filter housing. Shutting off the feed line and closing the output line may be accomplished by closing respective valves. Before installing the dry filter, a valve to the vacuum may be closed. The method may be performed by a processor executing a program stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium.

    Abstract: This invention encompasses embodiments for multi-modal integrated simultaneous measurement of various aspects of fluids contained in circulating systems such as automotive reciprocating engines and vehicle transmissions. These circulating systems perform constant internal lubrication, and heat and contaminant removal to protect the internal moving parts from the inherent friction and damage in normal operation. Most commonly this is achieved with fluids based on hydrocarbon and/or related synthetics, which, over time, can lose their protective properties, and vary in their performance or breakdown/decay due to internal and external events. Several components within the lubricant fluid can be measured and can provide insight into the efficacy of the system to perform its designed mission. Described herein is a real-time, simultaneous, integrated, multi-modal sensor system for early warning notification that can be further enhanced using specifically designed nanoparticles that can be introduced into the system, engineered to specifically bind with the contaminants and/or undergo an irreversible state change upon certain experienced conditions to both increase the detectability as well as provide for a framework to improve filter performance.
