Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical analysis technology, specifically to a method for determining the moisture content of gear oil. Background Technology
[0002] Gear oil is mainly used for lubricating heavy-duty gears and bearings. Moisture content is a crucial control indicator in new oil acceptance and operational oil monitoring. With the rapid development of the wind power industry, a large quantity of operational gear oil requires monitoring for moisture content. Currently, coulometric and distillation methods are generally used to detect the moisture content in gear oil.
[0003] When using the coulometric method for testing, a Karl Fischer electrolyte is required. Due to the large quantity of wind turbine gear oil, the Karl Fischer electrolyte needs frequent replacement during testing. This electrolyte contains harmful organic compounds with a pungent odor; contact with it can harm the health of operators, causing symptoms such as limb spasms, dizziness, and coma. Furthermore, some components in the oil can contaminate the electrodes after entering the electrolytic cell, leading to inaccurate test results. Distillation methods, on the other hand, require large quantities of sample and organic solvent, are time-consuming, costly, and have low accuracy, failing to meet the current requirements for monitoring gear oils used in wind power generation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for determining the moisture content of gear oil. The method calculates the moisture content of gear oil by utilizing the equilibrium of moisture in the gas and liquid phases in a closed container. It does not require Karl von Scheres' reagent, and the detection method is simple, low-cost, and harmless to the human body, which can meet the current needs for monitoring gear oil used in wind power generation. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for determining the moisture content of gear oil, the specific steps of which are as follows: S1 obtains the initial moisture content value of the gas phase of the dry gas. ; S2 involves mixing and agitating the gear oil sample and dry gas in a sealed container to allow moisture to reach equilibrium in the gas and liquid phases. The resulting equilibrium volumes of the gear oil sample and gas, the final moisture content A of the gas, and the increase in humidity of the dry gas after equilibrium are then determined. ; S3 calculates the moisture content in the gear oil sample based on the increase in humidity, the volume of the gear oil sample and gas after equilibrium, and the distribution coefficient of moisture in the gear oil sample and gas.
[0005] Furthermore, in S2, the volume ratio of dry gas to oil sample is 30~60:1; during mixing and oscillation, the temperature is 40~60℃, and equilibrium is reached when the change in gas phase humidity within 10 minutes is no greater than 0.3℃.
[0006] Furthermore, in S2, the calculation of the moisture content in the gear oil sample to be tested is as follows: W=K (2) Where: W—moisture content in oil, mg / L; K—distribution coefficient of moisture in the gas and liquid phases after gas-liquid equilibrium; A—moisture content in the gas phase after gas-liquid equilibrium under experimental conditions, μg / L; A0—initial moisture content in the gas phase under experimental conditions, μg / L; —After equilibrium, the volume of the gas phase, mL; V 油 —After equilibration, the volume of the gear oil sample to be tested, mL.

[0008] Furthermore, in S2, the initial volume of the gear oil sample to be tested is obtained. The volume of the gear oil sample to be tested is determined based on the oil's coefficient of thermal expansion. Converted to the volume of the gear oil sample to be tested after equilibrium. .
[0009] Furthermore, in S3, the allocation coefficient is calculated as follows: S3.1 Obtain the humidity value C1 of the dry gas; S3.2 Place the gear oil sample and dry gas in a sealed container, mix and shake to allow the moisture to reach the first two-phase equilibrium in the gas and liquid phases. Discharge the gas from the sealed container and obtain the humidity value C2. The increase in humidity of the gas after the first two-phase equilibrium is [value missing]. =(C2-C1) S3.3 Inject the same volume of dry gas into the sealed container of S3.2 and obtain the humidity value C3 of the dry gas. Under the same conditions, mix and vibrate to allow the moisture to reach a second two-phase equilibrium in the gas and liquid phases, obtaining the humidity value C4 of the gas. The increase in humidity of the gas after the second two-phase equilibrium is [value missing]. (C4-C3); S3.4 Obtain the increase in humidity of the gas after two equilibrations, and the volume of the gear oil sample and the gas after equilibration. Based on the distribution law and the principle of material balance, obtain the distribution coefficient of moisture in the gas and liquid phases when the moisture in this type of gear oil sample is in gas-liquid equilibrium.
[0010] Furthermore, in S3.4, when the moisture in the gear oil sample reaches equilibrium between the gas and liquid phases, the formula for calculating the distribution coefficient of moisture between the gas and liquid phases is as follows: K= (1) Where: K—the distribution coefficient of water after gas-liquid equilibrium under experimental conditions; —Increase in vapor phase moisture content after the first equilibration, in μg / L; —The increase in vapor phase moisture content after the second equilibration, in μg / L; —Gas volume under experimental conditions after equilibrium, in L; V l —The volume of liquid under the test conditions after equilibrium is reached, in L.
[0011] Furthermore, in S3.4, the volume of the dry gas before equilibrium is obtained. Based on the ideal gas law, the volume of the dry gas before equilibrium is... Converted to the volume of gas after equilibrium .
[0012] Furthermore, in S3, the volume of the gear oil sample before balancing is obtained. The volume of the gear oil sample before equilibrium was determined based on the oil's coefficient of thermal expansion. Converted to obtain the volume of the gear oil sample after equilibrium. .
[0013] Furthermore, the dry gas mentioned in S1 is the same dry gas as the dry gas in S3.1 and S3.3, and its humidity is below -60℃; the gear oil sample to be tested in S2 is the same type of gear oil as the gear oil sample in S3.2; the mixing and oscillation conditions in S2 are the same as the mixing and oscillation conditions in S3.2 and S3.3.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a method for determining the moisture content of gear oil. First, the humidity of a dry gas is measured. A certain volume of dry gas and the gear oil sample to be tested are placed in a sealed container. Through shaking, moisture is allowed to reach equilibrium between the gas and liquid phases. The humidity of the gas after equilibrium is measured, and the increase in humidity of the dry gas after equilibrium is obtained. Based on this increase and the partition coefficient of moisture in the gas and the gear oil sample, the moisture content of the oil sample can be calculated. This method eliminates the need for electrodes and electrolytes, avoiding electrode contamination by additives in the oil sample that could lead to inaccurate test results and protecting the health of operators during operation.
[0015] In this invention, when calculating the distribution coefficient of moisture in a gas and a gear oil sample to be tested, a certain volume of dry gas and a gear oil sample are placed in a sealed container and oscillated under the same conditions as the steps for detecting moisture content. After the moisture reaches equilibrium between the gas and liquid phases, the humidity of the gas after equilibrium is measured to obtain the increase in humidity of the dry gas after the first equilibrium. Then, the gas in the two-phase oscillation equilibrium device is discharged, and the same volume of dry gas as the first time is injected again. Under the same conditions, the moisture reaches equilibrium between the gas and liquid phases a second time. Based on the increase in humidity of the dry gas after the two equilibrations and the volumes of the gas and oil sample, the distribution coefficient of moisture for this type of oil under these conditions is calculated. Based on the distribution coefficient of moisture in the oil, the moisture content of all oils related to this type of oil can be obtained through the two-phase oscillation equilibrium method. This method achieves oil moisture testing without using electrolytes that are harmful to the health of operators and also facilitates the automation of the entire operation process.
