HYDAC Electronic Aqua Sensor AS1008-C-000 909109 Fluid Sensor New in Stock

Overview:

The Aqua Sensor AS 1000 is a fluid sensor for detecting water in oil. Measures the water content relative to the saturation concentration (saturation point) and outputs the degree of saturation (saturation level) in the range of 0 to 100% as a 4 - 20 mA signal.

It is almost certain that there is water present in hydraulic and lubrication systems. These systems should be operated without the presence of free or emulsified water. The most common sources of water entering a system are ambient humidity, “splash” from process water, and new oil. Water contamination will accelerate the aging process of the oil resulting in oil oxidization, additive depletion, reduced lubrication, corrosion and damaged components. Most of these costly problems can be avoided by monitoring the water content of the operating fluids.

Sometimes the water content is difficult to determine, but with the HYDAC Aqua Sensor, determining the amount of water is easy! The most practical method for monitoring water content in oil is as a percent of the saturation level. Different oils are capable of dissolving varying amounts of water, therefore they have varying water saturation curves. The curve (below) is an example of the typical relationship of water saturation level versus fluid temperature in hydraulic and lubrication oils. By looking at the example graph it can be seen that this fluid is capable of holding more water, or has a higher saturation level, as the temperature increase.
