A plurality of sensors are utilized to record operating conditions of the machine, element, environment, and lubricant. The apparatus is controlled either manually or with the aid of a controller unit such as a microprocessor. A stand-alone humidity sensor mechanism is disclosed, in which signal process circuitry is electrically coupled to a humidity sensor, designed to be attached to the mechanism to be monitored so that it is juxtaposed in the atmosphere above the lubricant material that is being monitored.

A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine having an intake manifold and a ventilation system may allow a reliable and fault-free diagnosis of a fault in the ventilation. The ventilation system may be a tank ventilation or a crankcase ventilation. The ventilation duct is conducted to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. At least one pressure differential may be determined between an intake-manifold pressure or an ambient pressure, on the one hand, and a pressure in the ventilation duct, on the other hand. A fault in the ventilation may be diagnosed as a function of the at least one pressure differential.

A lubrication system is provided for delivering a lubricant to a plurality of nozzles. The lubrication system includes a reservoir for the lubricant; a pump fluidly coupled to the reservoir and configured to remove a flow of the lubricant from the reservoir; a lubrication sensor positioned between the pump and the plurality of nozzles and configured to detect a blockage in the plurality of nozzles and to generate a blockage signal when the blockage is detected; and an indicator coupled to the lubrication sensor and configured to generate a warning based on the blockage signal from the lubrication sensor.

A variable capacity fluid pump that can be controlled independently of the rotation of the engine is provided. The fluid pump comprises a planetary gear mechanism having a first gear, second gears and a third gear. The second gears are connected to a crankshaft of the engine and transmits a rotational force of the crankshaft. The third gear is connected to the fluid pump. The fluid pump further comprises braking means connected to the first gear. The breaking means generates a braking force upon the first gear. The fluid pump further comprises a one-way clutch provided between the second gears and the third gear. The braking means controls a rotational speed of the first gear so that a rotational speed of the fluid pump is controlled independently of a rotational speed of the crankshaft of the engine.

In hybrid electric vehicles having increased battery storage capacity and plug-in capability, electric-only operation of significant duration is available. To supplement lubrication for the electric and mechanical components provided in a fluid circuit by an engine-driven mechanical pump, an electric pump is provided in parallel to the mechanical pump. When the electric pump is operating, a diagnostic can be performed to determine system integrity. According to one embodiment, an actual quantity provide to the circuit is determined; an expected quantity is estimated; and a fault is determined when the actual and expected quantities differ by more than a predetermined amount. The fault may indicate a leak or plug in the fluid circuit or a failure of a component in the fluid circuit.

The invention discloses an anti-leakage lubricating oil supply system of a power device, and belongs to the technical field of mechanical and power equipment lubrication supply. The lubricating oil supply system comprises an oil supply pump oil inlet pipe, an oil supply pump, an oil supply pressure meter, an oil supply pump oil outlet pipe, an oil supply filter, lubricating oil, an oil storage tank, an equipment oil return pipe, an oil storage tank pressure meter, a vacuum pump air inlet pipe, a vacuum pump air inlet filter, a vacuum pump and a vacuum pump exhaust pipe. According to the system, the lubricating system conducts lubrication in the running manner of the negative pressure lower than the environment pressure, an inlet and an outlet of a lubricating oil pump are in negative pressure; during work, the lubricating oil pump conveys the lubricating oil to the lubricating part; through control the pressure of the vacuum pump and the oil pump, it is guaranteed that the pressure atthe lubricating part is lower than the outer pressure of the lubricating system, a small amount of gas flows into a sealing cavity from the exterior of the lubricating system, the lubricating oil is driven to flow in the equipment oil return pipe direction, and accordingly the purpose that lubricating oil is prevented from leaking outwards from a gap is achieved. The system is applicable to gas turbines or other high-speed rotation power machines.

A lubrication system and wind turbine are provided having one or more input ports in a component and one or more output ports in the component. An expandable lubrication receptacle is connected to the one or more output ports, and the expandable lubrication receptacle is configured for receiving a lubrication medium from the component.

A lubricant pump is disclosed for delivering lubricant to at least one lubricating point. The pump features a lubricant container (2), a pump unit, a drive (4) assigned to the pump unit, and at least one lubricant outlet and a control unit (5) assigned to the drive (4). At least one heating element (6) is also provided and can be actuated by the control unit and / or another control unit (5). In addition, the invention further relates to a lubricating system with the lubricant pump.

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.
