Features
The Turbidity Sensor PIT 400 was developed to identify turbidity in hydraulic fluids reliably. Ingress of water into the hydraulic system causes the turbidity in the hydraulic fluid.
Water in hydraulic fluids can harm the function of the entire system and reduce the lifespan of the pressure fluid and the components of the system.
Turbidity in the fluid is quickly recognised by the sensor. Ingress of water is registered immediately so that precautionary measures can be taken before the damage to the system becomes out of hand. Therefore the sensor offers great security for the entire system. The sensor should be built into all fluid-technical systems that are at risk of being contaminated by water, e.g. by defect coolers, broken seals or condensed water.
The sensor should preferably be installed in the return line, the tank or the bypassing cooling circulation. It is easily calibrated to the normal condition of the fluid by the push of a button.
The fading transmission of the infra-red light measures the turbidity in the fluid.
