Abstract
When the abrasive particles gather in the oil and pass through the sensor, the mixed abrasive particles will cause false alarms and missed alarms of the monitoring equipment. To enhance the precision of detecting abrasive particles, an analysis was conducted on the impact of various mixtures of iron and copper particles on the detection signal. The results show that the magnetization coupling between ferromagnetic particles and eddy current coupling between non-ferromagnetic particles significantly affect the detection signal. The closer the particle aggregation shape is to the spherical shape, the more significant the eddy current effect is and the weaker the magnetic induction strength is. The study proposes a multi-metal particle differentiation and identification method based on the amplitude of the inductive-resistive signal, which can accurately differentiate 75 % of the particle combinations, and the remaining 25 % can be differentiated by the change rule of the signal curve, providing theoretical and experimental support for improving the accuracy of multi-metal particle detection in oil fluids.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals.
