Oil-TEC Water Detection System
Measure water content in oil
The Oil-TEC Water Detection System is used especially for very high media temperatures. To determine the water content in oil, it combines cooling and measuring in one technical solution. It is used, for example, for hydraulic oils, diesel, vegetable oils or Skydrol.

Technical information
Inline cooling and measurement of absolute water content
The Oil-TEC Water Detection System is designed for in-line cooling and measurement of absolute water content in ppm [mg/kg]. It is designed to determine the absolute water content precisely and reliably even at extremely high media temperatures – for example in hydraulic oils, diesel, vegetable oils, skydrol.
For this purpose, it has, among other things, an integrated pump as well as temperature monitoring and provides an output of all relevant measured variables.
In industry, there are some applications that require a very high media temperature due to the process requirements, such as the quenching process in hardening shops. This makes inline measurement of the water content in the media used enormously difficult.
For this purpose, iocto’s Oil-TEC Water Detection System relies on a combination: the cooling of media with simultaneous inline measurement of the water content. For this purpose, it is equipped with our proven NP330-F water-in-oil sensor.
The operation of the system is based on the Peltier effect. It enables the customized medium to cool to a range that allows the water content to be measured by the NP330-F sensor without any problems.
The compact system can be installed using a bypass, for example. An integrated pump draws in the medium independently and generates a constant flow. The medium temperatures are always monitored and displayed at the inlet and outlet.
The system indicates the current water content, temperature-compensated, in ppm [mg/kg]. In addition, it continuously provides the data via the 4-20mA interface for further processing.
