The Kittiwake Oil Condition Sensor continuously monitors lubricant condition and detects changes caused by water and acid levels, alerting users to take action before harm is done to the machine. It offers permanent mounting and real-time monitoring beyond traditional hand-held units. The sensor provides instant information on lubricant health and helps users make informed maintenance decisions by complementing existing oil analysis programs. It detects when lubricants are no longer fit for service and may indicate contaminants or machine faults as the cause.

2. The Kittiwake Oil Condition Sensor goes beyond normal protection systems.
It monitors the root cause of lubricant and machine failure, putting the user
in control. Know exactly when to change the oil based on condition, not on
historical schedules.
Todays lubricants are better quality than ever before. Sticking to traditional oil change
intervals is expensive. Whilst lubricants are performing better, they are still at risk from
changing operating and environmental conditions. Thats why oil analysis services include
an oil condition component. It helps detect when the oil may no longer be fit for service,
possibly even pinpointing a contaminant or machine fault as the cause.
The Kittiwake Oil Condition Sensor goes beyond the normal hand-held field go / no-go
units by offering permanent mounting for continuous monitoring. Providing a check on
both water ingress and oxidation levels, monitor in real-time and take immediate action
on the first indication of change, before any harm is done to the machine or the oil. The Kittiwake Oil Condition Sensor can be
mounted within almost any lubrication system on any type of machine. The sensor detects changes caused by water and acid levels
using a combination of proven dielectric sensing, combined with smart algorithms to provide a trend.
Whether its to check on the health of the lubricant or alert the user to changing contaminant ingression, the Kittiwake Oil Condition
Sensor provides instant information, complementing your existing laboratory oil analysis programme and helping you make informed
maintenance planning decisions.
