  1. HIAC Portable Oil Diagnostic System (PODS)Overview

  2. PODS Applications • Military fluid power • Industrial fluid power • Construction and mining • Aerospace

  3. 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

  4. Results of Contamination Damage • Power loss • Loss of surface lubrication • Degradation of operation • Intermittent operation • Catastrophic failure • Costly repairs • Costly downtime • Costly rework

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. Method of Operation • Online mode • Sample 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

  8. Method of Operation • Bottle Mode • Place 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

  9. 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 90C (194F)

  10. 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 PODS Online Adaptor

  11. 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

  12. Pressure Sources • PODS requires an external pressure source. • This can be either: • Attachable CO2 bottle • Shop air

  13. 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

  14. 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)

  15. Atmosphere Pressure Regulator – 90 PSI/7 bar Regulator Air/CO2 Supply Sensor Flow Controller Sample Chamber To Waste Bottle Sample Operation

  16. Pressure Regulator – 90 PSI/7 bar Regulator Sensor Online Adaptor Flow Controller 90-6000 PSI To Waste 7 to 420 bar Online Operation

  17. 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

  18. Keypad Features

  19. Typical Setup Menu Page • Parameters • SAMPLE LABEL: Up to 10 characters • MODE: BOTTLE or ONLINE • STD: ISOMTD, ISOACF, NAS, MIL, NAVAIR • VOL: 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 mL • FLOW: Between 15 and 50 ml/min or AUTO • PRINT: ENBL, DSBL or SETUP

  20. 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

  21. Competitors • Parker UCC—LCM20, PLC3000 • Pall—PFC200, PFC400W, PCM 400 • PAMAS—S40 • Eaton Vickers—TargetPro • MP Filtri—LPA2 • Hydac—FCU2100/2200 • Internorman—CCS 2 • Klotz—Abakus

  22. What Parker Offers • UCC LCM 20 portable particle counter • PLC3000 portable particle counter(manufactured by HU) • MCM 8000 online particle monitor (PM4000 OEM) • IQ200 online counter • MCM 20 online monitor based on the LCM20

  23. What Pall Offers • PFC400W—laser particle counter manufactured by PAMAS with water content measurement • PCM pore blockage counters • PIM 400 online monitor

  24. What PAMAS Offers • Pamas offers a range of particle counters for the laboratory and for field use.

  25. Stoplight Analysis

  26. Where We Win • 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 • SUPERIOR VALUE PROPOSITION

  27. PODS Monetization (Parker UCC LCM 20: $8,000 - $10,000)

  28. PODS Benefits • Proactive maintenance • Tracking and trending multiple system’s cleanliness • Certification to ISO, SAE and NAS requirements • On-site sampling • Reducing maintenance costs • Bottle samples • Roll-off cleanliness • Fluid analysis • System qualification
