Description

Fuel that enters the engine oil strongly affects its lubricating properties and therefore friction and wear in the combustion engine. Higher fuel content lowers oil viscosity, which can reduce friction but also increase wear.

Time-resolved oil dilution values, especially in transient engine operation, can only be obtained with a real-time instrument. The V&F FuelSense was developed for this task and, combined with the V&F LubeSampler, determines oil dilution online.

Typical applications

  • Online oil dilution measurement

Application examples

Automotive industry

  • Online oil dilution measurement

Values marked as application-dependent (measuring range, response time, detection limit, gas consumption) depend on the compounds measured, the system configuration and the instrument settings.
