ENGINE COOLANT MONITORING SYSTEM FOR A MACHINE
First Claim
1. An engine coolant monitoring system for a machine, comprising:
- a test device configured to test a fluid sample of an engine coolant from the machine;
a database configured to store a test result generated by the test device, the test result including a plurality of characteristics of the fluid sample; and
a controller configured to;
access a rule-set associated with the engine coolant from the database, the rule-set including criteria associated with the characteristics;
determine whether characteristics of the fluid sample satisfy the criteria;
label the engine coolant as normal when the characteristics of the fluid sample satisfy the criteria; and
label the engine coolant as abnormal when the characteristics do not satisfy at least one criterion included in the rule-set.

Abstract
An engine coolant monitoring system for a machine is disclosed. The engine coolant monitoring system may have a test device configured to test a fluid sample of an engine coolant. The engine coolant monitoring system may also have a database configured to store a test result generated by the test device, the test result including a plurality of characteristics of the fluid sample. In addition, the engine coolant monitoring system may have a controller. The controller may be configured to access a rule-set associated with the engine coolant from the database, the rule-set having criteria associated with the characteristics. The controller may also be configured to label the engine coolant as normal when the characteristics of the fluid sample satisfy the criteria and label the engine coolant as abnormal when the characteristics do not satisfy at least one criterion included in the rule-set.

14. A method of monitoring an engine coolant in a machine, comprising:
-
extracting a fluid sample of the engine coolant from the machine; testing the fluid sample using at least one test apparatus; generating a test result, including a plurality of characteristics of the fluid sample; storing the test result in a database; accessing, using a controller, a rule-set associated with the engine coolant from the database, the rule-set including criteria associated with the characteristics; determining whether characteristics of the fluid sample satisfy the criteria; labeling the engine coolant as normal when the characteristics of the fluid sample satisfy the criteria; and labeling the engine coolant as abnormal when the characteristics do not satisfy at least one criterion included in the rule-set. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
