PARTICLEPAL

Filtration, Purification & Separation Solutions

Product overview: The Particle Pal is a self-contained system, complete with integral pump and governed flow rate. Whether on-site or in the laboratory, the Particle Pal will provide cleanliness readings in real time to allow you to fully understand the condition of your oils and fuels. Samples from oil/fuel tanks or sample bottles can be analysed quickly and accurately, thereby minimising the frequency of laboratory analysis. This proactive maintenance approach is ideal for sites with multiple fuel, thereby making the Particle Pal the ultimate site survey equipment. Powerful trending software will allow for data to be displayed in graphical format for real-time trend analysis. The Particle Pal will identify the cleanliness code of the fuel, which will alert to the need for corrective action. The Particle Pal is the most cost effective fuel cleanliness monitor on the market. Features: Self contained with integral pump Real time detection of solid contamination and moisture Real time graphic display via software Alerts to the presence of water and diesel bug in oil in fuels Laptop connectivity for data transfer Archive creation via Excel Re-chargeable battery Remote telemetry options available Incorporates latest laser particle counting technology Benefits: Compact, lightweight unit with robust casing Accurate, repeatable and consistent results Measure the quality of oils and fuels in real time Ideal survey tool for field and laboratory use Sample direct from fuel tank, sample bottle, fuel polishing cabinet or oil reservoir

*Model shown FS9001-WHP

Fuel Monitoring: Modern fuels, with ever increasing biofuel percentages, have created several challenges to industry in recent years. Fuel blends are highly hygroscopic which enables them to absorb greater amounts of moisture. This in turn leads to higher levels of microbiological activity which are seriously troublesome to fuel systems. The Particle Pal will allow you to quantify the level of solid contamination in your fuel and will alert you to the presence of high moisture levels and diesel bug. Oil Testing: In Hydraulic and Lubrication systems, real time cleanliness data can prevent serious system failure and component damage. By trending oil cleanliness in real time, the necessary protection can be put in place to protect sensitive components. Samples can be taken directly from the reservoir of fluid power systems, or from a oil sample taken from the system.

Filtration, Purification & How Solutions Separationdoes the Particle

Pal work? At the core of the Particle Pal is Filtertechniks advanced laser eye capture, providing accurate, continuous detection of fluid passing through the sample chamber. The sample is representative of the overall fuel contamination levels. A sample of the fuel enters the laser optical chamber. The highly accurate laser beam projects through the fuel. A shadowis created by the contamination in the oil and fuel and a cleanliness code is calculated accordingly.

Measurements are taken at set intervals as defined by the user, with cleanliness data being reported immediately and updated in real time. The data is displayed on the LED digital display and can also be viewed on PC in graphic or tabular formats.

Cleanliness levels can be viewed in real time Fuel cleanliness data can be saved to Excel and archived for total traceability and quality control
