Wind Turbine Analysis Kit

Monitoring the condition of the lubrication oil in your wind turbine is a crucial strategy for identifying potential issues and preventing failures and downtime. Given the remote and challenging accessibility of many wind turbines, implementing an oil analysis program becomes an invaluable tool for proactive issue monitoring. International buyers are responsible for the charges on postage back to the UK for analysis.

Our laboratory analysis of oils used in your wind turbine comprehensively monitors critical factors. Our analysis includes testing for:

• Oil cleanliness levels are assessed through the ISO 4406 particle count, a pivotal factor especially in hydraulic oils.
• Full spectrographic analysis is to evaluate potential wear metals, monitor levels, and ensure oil additive levels are maintained. It also detects contaminants like Boron, Sodium, and Silicon that may have entered the system.
• Total ferrous debris is a measurement to monitor magnetic wear particles, regardless of size.
• Oil viscosity at 40 °C & 100 °C, ensuring the oil meets lubrication and heat transfer requirements crucial for hydraulic systems.
• Oil viscosity index is trended and compared with new oil specifications to detect changes in lubricant condition.
• Total Acid Number is assessing the amount of acidic components present within the oil.
• Karl fisher water count, utilising the K.Fisher water test to detect any water that may have entered the engine.
• Our comprehensive oil analysis ensures proactive maintenance and optimal performance for your wind turbine, even in challenging operating conditions.
