Embodiment Construction

[0036] As mentioned above, the subject matter disclosed in this specification relates to a lubricating oil in industrial machinery. Specifically, the subject matter disclosed in this specification relates to the analysis of lubricating oils in industrial machinery.

[0037] As described in this specification, it can be difficult to effectively monitor the quality of lubricating oil in industrial machinery, thus potentially leading to unintended drops in oil quality and ultimately damage to industrial machinery that relies on such oil for lubrication.

[0038] Contrary to conventional approaches, various embodiments of the present invention include using test data extracted from lubricating oils to analyze industrial machinery (e.g., one or more of the following: metal production machines, textile machines, paper machines, large Systems, computer program products and related methods for lubricating oils for scale electric motors, mining machines, harvesting machines, agricultur...

Abstract

The invention discloses an industrial machine lubricating oil monitoring system, and related methods. The system has at least one computing device configured to monitor a lubrication oil from an industrial machine by performing actions including: determining an initial ideal remaining life for the lubrication oil from the industrial machine; determining a temperature-based remaining life for the lubrication oil based upon a temperature measurement of the lubrication oil; calculating a contamination factor of the lubrication oil based upon a contamination sample of the lubrication oil; determining an updated ideal life remaining for the lubrication oil based upon the contamination factor, the initial ideal remaining life, and the temperature-based remaining life; and determining an actual life remaining for the lubrication oil based upon the updated ideal life remaining and a life loss factor.
