In-situ Measurement of Marine Lubricant Degradation by X-band Micro-ESR Spectrometry Quad Chart Narrative Briefing Capabilities BrochureKeywords: In-line oil health monitor, condition based maintenance (CBM), electron-spin resonance, spectrometer Abstract: Successful In-line oil health monitoring could provide improved situational awareness of system health, automated maintenance capability, improved system safety, reduced manning, lower system life-cycle cost for DDG-51, other surface ships, submarines and carriers. Miniature electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer measures concentration/composition of free radicals caused by the oxidation process, enabling automated and direct chemical analysis of lubricants. Easily integrated system enables the first in-line, automated oil health monitor for Navy ships. Five year-old company, renowned micro-ESR experts, has an established small-form X-band ESR instrumentation line, based on a lab scale instrument, that has successfully measured thermal oxidation and thermal coking signals in gearbox and hydraulic oil with their in-line system. We are seeking to develop relationships with PEO Ships, PEO Subs, PEO Carriers, surface ship and submarine program offices, shipbuilders and ship system integrators to incorporate the in-line Micro-ESR sensor into shipboard generator and actuator health monitoring systems.
