PODS Applications

• Proactive maintenance• Tracking and trending

multiple system’s cleanliness• Certification to ISO, SAE &

NAS requirements• On-site sampling• Reducing maintenance costs• Bottle samples• Roll-off cleanliness• Fluid analysis• System qualification


Introduction to PODS

• Measures, stores and reports oil condition parameters essential for reliable hydraulic systems operation

• Analyzes fluids and lubricants in online or bottle sampling modes to determine the machine’s operating condition immediately.

• Instant analysis is as accurate and precise as traditional laboratory analysis that normally takes weeks.

• Real-time assessment of the oil under operating conditions


PODS Features• 8-channel display• Bottle and online sampling• Viscosity and temperature measurement• 500 sample memory • High speed thermal printer buffer• Flash programmable • Aluminum alloy sheet metal casing• Built-in bottle sampler pressure chamber • Compact power supply • Refillable CO2 bottle or shop air operation• Multiple language capabilities• Full ISO 11171 calibration capability


Results of Contamination Damage

• Power loss• Loss of surface lubrication• Degradation of operation• Intermittent operation• Catastrophic failure • Costly repairs• Costly downtime• Costly rework


PODS “Elevator/Lift Description”

• Offers flexibility in sampling with an online or lab/bottle mode for multi-variant analysis of particle counts, viscosity and temperature

• Capable of calibration to full ISO 11171 standards,

the PODS performs in harsh environments, accurately monitoring hydraulic and lubricating fluids


Method of Operation

Online modeSample fluid directly from the hydraulic system using the online sample adaptor

After pressing the start key:• Fluid flows through the particle counter, purging the fluid

path

• After sampling the required purge volume, the instrument begins the particle count

• Flow is regulated automatically

• No propulsion or mechanical interference required; system utilizes hydraulic system pressure

• Upon completing specified number of runs, flow stops and instrument prints out results


Method of OperationBottle ModePlace bottle of fluid for analysis into the bottle sampler adaptor, which is then fitted to the PODS

Press the start key• Air or gas flows into the bottle sample adaptor, and pressurizes it to 7 bar (90 psi)

• Fluid begins to flow through the instrument

• After sampling the required purge volume, the instrument begins the particle count

• Flow is regulated automatically

• No mechanical interference to the sample

• Upon completing specified number of runs, instrument stops, releases pressure and prints results


Performance

Fluid Compatibility• Phosphate ester based fluids AND petroleum and synthetic

based fluids

• Online sampling at pressures of 7 to 420 bar (9 to 6000 psi)

• Maximum fluid viscosity of 434 cSt

• Concentration limit: 30,000 particles/mL @10%

• Sample fluid temperature: Up to 90C (194F)


Sampling Modes

Bottle Samples• PODS can analyze bottle samples by using the

Sample Bottle Adaptor

• Bottles hold approximately 120 ml of fluid

• Flow is regulated automatically.


Sampling Modes

Online Samples

• The Online Sample Adaptor allows online sampling of fluids of pressures between 7 bar (90 psi) and 420 bar (6000 psi)

• During online operation, the air/CO2 supply is not used

• Flow rate is regulated automatically


Pressure Sources

PODS requires an external pressure source

This can be either:• Attachable CO2 bottle• Shop air


Shop Air

Connect PODS only to known CLEAN and DRY air source

Ensure the air pressure is between 6.2 and 7.6 bar (90 to 110 psi)


CO2 Bottles

• Fill CO2 bottle prior to use (ensure the CO2 bottle is fully discharged prior to shipping)

• Inspect threads for damage and apply clean lubricant to O-ring

• Thread the bottle clockwise into the CO2 port, continue ¼ turn after pressurization

• Turn bottle counterclockwise to disengage the CO2 bottle

• Each bottle will holds enough gas for approximately 60 runs

Flow Control

• Sophisticated flow control system

• True volumetric flow

• Pressure transducer reduces purge volume to 15mL minimum

• Flow is controlled by a stepper motor driven needle valve opening or closing as required

• Flow regulation is automatic or manual depending on the counter setup

Calibration

• ISO MTD and Latex Spheres in MIL-H-5606 as per procedures based on ISO 11171

• ACFTD in MIL-H5606 as per procedures based on ISO 4402 without the need to change software or hardware

• Calibration is performed using NIST traceable ISO Medium Test Dust (MTD)

• The only portable that can be calibrated FULLY to ISO 11171


Superior Value

• PODS is the instrument of choice for the US Navy—not one of many - but the only one

• No one else offers ISO 11171 calibration for a portable particle counter

• No other portable particle counter currently on the market measures viscosity and temperature

• HIAC name continues to carry great weight in the hydraulics industry

• Only on-line and bottle mode liquid particle counter
