Abstract

Abstract: Two inductance-capacitance dual mode sensors based on different arrangement of dual coil and microchannel for oil multi-contaminant detection are proposed. The inductance detection model of metal particles and capacitance detection model of non-metal particles are constructed theoretically. The experimental results show that the two dual mode sensors both can realize inductance detection of iron and copper particles and capacitance detection of water droplets and air bubbles in oil. The detection sensitivity can be effectively improved by placing the microchannel on the edge of coil inner hole. The sensor of dual coils perpendicular to microchannel has more sensitive in inductance detection and the sensor of dual coils parallel to microchannel has more sensitive in capacitance detection. This research is helpful to improve the design and sensitivity of oil multi-contaminant detection sensor, and is of great significance to the realization of health monitoring and fault diagnosis of machinery.
