New water-in-oil sensor protects engines
Sensor specialist Dr. E. Horn has developed the new water-in-oil sensor, FRG00035, to prevent damage to engines. Oil has the ability to hold a certain amount of dissolved water. The maximum amount of water that it can hold depends on the oil’s saturation point. Above this point free water precipitates, which can lead to corrosion inside a component and cause major damage and lengthy downtime. The saturation point is influenced by temperature and various other factors including the composition of the oil (mineral or synthetic) and the formulation of additives....
