AD Systems DT100DL - Dispersancy Tester of In-Service Engine Oils

The requirement for machinery and oil condition monitoring is becoming ever more apparent as maintenance costs increase while production capacity and equipment performance are maximized. Monitoring the amount of soot in diesel engine lubricant oil is important but more important is to measure the dispersancy of the oil. This gives important information on the residual capacity of the oil in service to keep carbon soot in suspension and prevent sludge formation. Depletion of detergent and dispersant additives leads to rapid agglomeration and deposition of soot onto machine surfaces. It can increase wear and damage engine components. In addition water or glycol contamination can quickly knock out dispersancy performance even without an increase in soot load. The DT 100 helps to check on the health of lubricant oil in service and alert when oil degradation starts to compromise the engine durability.
