Turbomachine lubricating oil analyzer apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring a lubrication oil in a turbomachine oil reservoir, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing section including;
a casing;
a base plate and a back support coupled with the casing;
an oil intake conduit extending through the base plate, the oil intake conduit for fluidly connecting with the turbomachine oil reservoir;
a pump fluidly connected with the oil intake conduit;
an oil analyzer fluidly connected with the pump; and
a drain conduit fluidly connected with the oil analyzer and extending through the base plate,wherein the drain conduit is designed to fluidly connect with the turbomachine oil reservoir and provide analyzed oil to the turbomachine oil reservoir, wherein the drain conduit is designed to fluidly connect with a drain location in the turbomachine oil reservoir, and the oil intake conduit is designed to fluidly connect with an extraction location in the turbomachine oil reservoir, wherein the drain location is distinct from the extraction location, and wherein the drain location is downstream of the extraction location along a flow path of the turbomachine oil reservoir; and
a mount coupled with the housing section, the mount for coupling with the turbomachine oil reservoir.
